The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center leads with a 9.7 cleanliness score and indoor Olympic-style pool. For apartment-style stays, Lima Mini Aparts Monterrico scores an exceptional 9.6 and sits steps from the US Embassy in Monterrico. Both top the Lima hotel scene with very different approaches.
Finding the right spot in Lima means balancing neighborhood character against hotel quality — and this list nails both with real scores and street-level specifics.

Detailed Reviews: The Best Hotels in La Molina Across Lima
1. Casa Andina Premium San Isidro
The Vibe
You’re surrounded by commercial high-rises, but the hotel faces a garden block — giving it an oddly peaceful feel for a business district. Staff score 9.5 and the breakfast buffet is praised for variety. It’s 40 minutes from the airport, so not the quickest dash, but the trade-off is a 9.6 cleanliness and 9.5 comfort rating that rarely dips.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with city views and the pool stays heated to 28°C daily from 7 AM to 9 PM. The fitness center is open, free WiFi clocks in at 9.3, and free parking is included — a real perk in San Isidro. Pets are allowed with charges, and children 13+ are charged as adults. The hotel requires all minors under 18 to be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian per Peruvian law, so plan accordingly if traveling with teenagers.
Choose this if: You’re on business in San Isidro but want a pool break and can bring your dog.
2. Tierra Viva Miraflores Centro
The Vibe
It’s a straightforward 3-star, but guests rave about the water pressure — one reviewer called it “the best shower in the world.” Location is the real star here: 9.6 puts you in central Miraflores with free parking, which is almost unheard of. The bed comfort also scores 9.5, so expect solid sleep consistency. Breakfast runs from 6 to 10 AM.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi at 9.0, free private parking (reserve ahead), and a very good breakfast included. There’s luggage storage available for late departures. Children 11+ are charged as adults, and pets aren’t allowed. Cancellation policies vary by room type, so check before booking. The hotel also offers restaurant reservations via their front desk.
Choose this if: You need a central Miraflores base with parking and care more about location than luxury extras.
3. Holiday Inn Lima Miraflores by IHG
The Vibe
IHG consistency with a local twist. The outdoor pool sets it apart from most Miraflores hotels, and the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Cleanliness hits 9.5 and staff are at 9.4. The 4-star rating delivers spacious rooms, though some guests note the AC only goes down to 18-19°C — pack a light layer if you run cold.
What You Actually Get
Free on-site parking, airport shuttle (fee), pet-friendly (charges apply), fitness center, and a solid 9.3 WiFi score. Breakfast is excellent according to reviews but comes at an extra cost — not included. The front desk operates 24 hours, so late-night arrivals from the airport are no problem. Windows don’t open in rooms, so the AC is your only air source. Groups booking 6+ rooms face different policies.
Choose this if: You want IHG reliability, a pool, and don’t mind paying separately for breakfast.

4. Hyatt Centric San Isidro Lima
The Vibe
One guest called it “one of the best hotels in South America.” That’s hyperbolic, but the scores back up the enthusiasm: 9.6 comfort and 9.5 facilities are the highest in this list for a full-service hotel. The heated pool holds at 30°C, staff hit 9.5, and the location in San Isidro is convenient for corporate travelers. Breakfast can be booked with or without — check your rate.
What You Actually Get
Outdoor heated pool, airport shuttle (partner taxi service at the airport counter), free private parking, and excellent breakfast options (€13 if not included). All rooms come with a valid credit card guarantee required at check-in. The property doesn’t allow pets, and children 13+ are charged as adults. The hotel works with CMV taxis — you’ll find their desk at the airport arrivals hall.
Choose this if: You’re after a high-end San Isidro stay and want a heated pool with consistent luxury scores.
5. Casa Andina Premium Golf Los Incas
The Vibe
This is the quiet sibling of the Casa Andina Premium line. Located in a less central residential area (Location scores 8.7), it compensates with a 9.7 WiFi score — the highest in this entire list. The property is a suite-only setup with spacious rooms, a terrace, and excellent breakfast. Staff are rated 9.5 and guests consistently praise the service and complimentary car service for local trips.
What You Actually Get
Outdoor pool, airport shuttle, non-smoking rooms throughout, free parking, and a 9.7 WiFi connection that remote workers will appreciate. All rooms are non-smoking with ironing boards provided. There’s no tennis court despite the “Golf” name — it’s a neighborhood reference, not an amenity. Pets aren’t allowed, and groups booking 5+ rooms face different policies.
Choose this if: You need reliable, fast WiFi for work and prefer a quiet residential setting over central bustle.
Check Tonight’s Price for Casa Andina Premium Golf Los Incas →
6. Alojamiento San Francisco – Apartamentos y habitaciones
The Vibe
Fully equipped apartment-style rooms with murals on the walls and a kitchen in every unit. Some rooms also share a rooftop kitchen for extra cooking space. The location on Jirón Azángaro puts you in the colonial center within walking distance of Plaza Mayor. Guests love the value (9.3) and the kitchen access — one reviewer called it a lifesaver for long stays.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi (8.2), family rooms, terrace access, and pet-friendly policy with possible charges. The property is on the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th floors with no elevator. Each room includes a kitchen, minibar, flat-screen TV, and private bathroom. Breakfast isn’t offered, but the kitchen setup makes self-catering easy. Laundry is available at a small cost. Notify your arrival time in advance.
Choose this if: You want apartment-style independence with a kitchen in the historic center and don’t mind stairs.
Check Tonight’s Price for Alojamiento San Francisco – Apartamentos y habitaciones →
7. The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center
The Vibe
The Westin is a tier above most Lima hotels. Cleanliness hits 9.7, facilities score 9.6, and the indoor half-Olympic pool with a full thermal circuit spa is a genuine attraction. Two restaurants serve breakfast, brunch, lunch, and dinner. The 5-star pricing reflects the quality, but the 8.9 value score suggests you’re paying for what you get.
What You Actually Get
Indoor heated pool (28-30°C), 32,000 ft² spa with thermal circuit, well-equipped gym, airport shuttle, and excellent breakfast (€13 or included depending on rate). Pets are allowed with charges. The hotel follows Peru’s minor accompaniment law (Law 30802) strictly. All minors must present ID and be with a parent. Upper floors are elevator-accessible. Groups booking 9+ rooms face adjusted policies.
Choose this if: You want Lima’s best indoor pool and spa experience with Westin-level service standards.
Check Tonight’s Price for The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center →
8. Ritts Hotel Perú
The Vibe
A solid 3-star in Santiago de Surco with strong staff scores (9.1) and spacious rooms. The breakfast is good — guests especially praise the fruit salad and made-to-order eggs. The area is suburban-residential, so location scores 8.9 reflect a quieter, car-dependent stay. TV in rooms are smart TVs for streaming.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi (7.6), free private parking (indoor, no roof racks allowed at the gate), good breakfast included, and upper floors accessible by elevator. No pets allowed. The property doesn’t accommodate bachelor/bachelorette parties. Cancellation varies by stay dates. The parking entrance has a height restriction — trucks with roof racks can’t enter.
Choose this if: You need a quiet, car-friendly base in Surco with reliable staff and no frills.
9. Lima Mini Aparts Monterrico – Cerca Embajada EEUU
The Vibe
This is the highest-scoring apartment in the list: 9.8 cleanliness, 9.7 staff, 9.9 location, 9.7 value. The mini-aparts come with a kitchen (cookware included), frigobar, desk, iron, and TV. The garden and terrace add outdoor space. One guest called it “great for long stays if you want privacy and independence.” It’s a short walk from the US Embassy, making it popular with diplomatic travelers.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi at 9.6, free private parking, garden view, and terrace. The property has both mini-aparts (with kitchen) and standard rooms (with bathroom only but no kitchen) — choose carefully when booking. Pets are allowed on request with charges. The host requires advance notice of your arrival time. No breakfast is served, but the full kitchen makes self-catering simple.
Choose this if: You need a long-stay apartment near the US Embassy with full kitchen access and top-tier cleanliness.
Check Tonight’s Price for Lima Mini Aparts Monterrico – Cerca Embajada EEUU →
10. HOTEL Javier Prado Inn
The Vibe
Right in the hotels in La Molina territory. This 3-star punches above its weight with a 9.5 staff score. Guests mention impecable cleanliness, comfortable beds, and a thoughtful touch: your name printed with chocolates and water on arrival. The check-in window is tight (12:30-1 PM), but the 24-hour front desk is flexible if you communicate.
What You Actually Get
Airport shuttle at $24 or S/.90 (pre-payment required, coordinate in advance), free WiFi (8.8), free parking, family rooms, and a 24-hour front desk. No pets allowed. Payment is by bank transfer before arrival — the property contacts you after booking to arrange this. Spa and gym are currently unavailable due to COVID protocols. Concierge and tour desk can help with local arrangements.
Choose this if: You’re looking for budget-friendly hotels in La Molina with excellent staff and easy airport transfers.
11. Hospedaje La Anita
The Vibe
A country house in San Isidro — unexpected, right? Hospitality score of 9.8 is the highest staff rating in this list. Guests rave about the warm welcome and flexible late check-in (they waited past midnight for one guest). The garden and terrace add a residential feel, and the exceptional breakfast is included. Beauty services and wellness packages are available on-site.
What You Actually Get
Airport shuttle, free parking, free WiFi (9.0), family rooms, and tea/coffee maker in all rooms. English is spoken. This is a cash-only property — no credit cards accepted. Pets are not allowed. The owner offers luggage storage between stays if you’re doing a split itinerary. Wellness packages include beauty services. The check-in window stretches to midnight, which helps with late flights.
Choose this if: You value personal hospitality above all else and prefer a country-house feel over a hotel lobby.
12. Habitación acogedora Orué
The Vibe
A small, cozy property run by host Raul, who guests describe as incredibly welcoming. The garden is a highlight, and the location in Surquillo is secure and central. WiFi at 9.9 rivals Casa Ramos for top speeds. This is a simple setup: no children allowed, cash only, and early check-in closure at 8 PM. Ideal for solo travelers who want a quiet, authentic stay.
What You Actually Get
Free WiFi (9.9), non-smoking rooms, and a garden. No children allowed, no pets, cash only. Check-in closes at 8 PM sharp — late arrivals won’t work unless pre-arranged.

It’s a shared bathroom setup in many rooms, so confirm your booking details carefully.
Choose this if: You’re a solo traveler who needs fast WiFi and values host interaction over hotel amenities.
13. Casa Ramos Salamanca – Airport pick up and drop off service

A homestay that feels like visiting family.

The garden and shared lounge add to the community feel.
What You Actually Get

Choose this if: You want a homestay experience with excellent hosts, strong WiFi, and airport transfer convenience.

14. El Polo Hotel & Suites
The Vibe
A 5-star that scores more like a 3-star on value (7.4) and facilities (7.9). That said, it’s got a loyal following for its spacious suites with full kitchens — great for extended stays. The on-site “El Polo Bistro” restaurant is a plus, and staff (9.0) are frequently praised by name: Mariana, Nicole, Fiorella, and Ivonne. The hot tub is a nice bonus.

This is a cash-only property with no pets allowed. It’s simple, but the scores are consistent across categories — a reliable pick for budget-conscious travelers who prioritize hygiene.

Cancellation policies vary. The property doesn’t accommodate parties or events. The metro proximity is a major plus for exploring Lima without a car.
Choose this if: You value a spotless room and metro access over WiFi speed and hotel frills.

The Vibe
A basic hotel in the Ate district serving mainly travelers who need proximity to that side of Lima. Staff are friendly (8.5) and the property is clean (8.3) for its category.

The value score of 9.7 makes it one of the best quality-for-price picks in this list. The owner lives on site, so help is immediate.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which hotels in La Molina are pet-friendly?
Only Casa Andina Premium San Isidro (#1) explicitly allows pets among the La Molina-adjacent properties, with applicable charges. HOTEL Javier Prado Inn (#10) and Family House (#20), both in La Molina itself, do not permit pets. If you’re traveling with a dog, Casa Andina Premium San Isidro is your best bet — it also offers free parking and a heated pool.
What’s the best time to visit Lima?
Lima’s summer runs December through April, with January and February being the warmest and sunniest months — ideal for pool use at properties like The Westin (indoor) or Hyatt Centric (outdoor). The rest of the year is overcast and damp (known as “garúa”), but temperatures stay mild (60-75°F year-round). Book winter stays at hotels with heated pools or good indoor amenities.
How do I get from Jorge Chavez International Airport to La Molina?
La Molina is about 10 km from the airport — roughly 30-50 minutes by car depending on traffic. Several hotels on this list offer airport shuttles: HOTEL Javier Prado Inn charges $24, Hospedaje La Anita coordinates taxis, and Casa Ramos Salamanca includes pickup/dropoff. Taxis from the official airport counter cost around $25-35. Avoid unmarked cabs.
Which hotels offer free cancellation?
Cancellation policies vary by room type at every property on this list — there’s no blanket free-cancellation hotel. Properties like Casa Andina Premium San Isidro and Hyatt Centric San Isidro offer flexible rates (often at a higher price point) alongside non-refundable options. Always check the specific room’s cancellation terms before booking. Alojamiento San Francisco and Casa Rodas tend to have more flexible policies.
Is La Molina a safe area for tourists?
Yes, La Molina is one of Lima’s safest residential districts, popular with families and professionals. It’s quieter and less touristy than Miraflores or San Isidro, but offers good access to malls, parks, and supermarkets. HOTEL Javier Prado Inn and Family House are both in secure, residential pockets. You’ll need a car or taxi to reach central attractions — public transport exists but is less convenient.
Do any of these hotels have kitchens for self-catering?
Yes. Alojamiento San Francisco (#6) has kitchens in every room plus a rooftop kitchen. Lima Mini Aparts Monterrico (#9) offers mini-aparts with full cookware. El Polo Hotel & Suites (#14) has suites with kitchens. Family House (#20) has a mini-department with a kitchen. Casa Ramos Salamanca (#13) offers kitchen equipment on request. These are ideal for extended stays or budget-conscious travelers.
