Hotel Continental in Lima: A Historic Centre Base

A Historic Centre Address

Tucked into the heart of Lima's old quarter,Hotel Continentalopens its doors on Puno Street 196, a corner of the city where pre-Hispanic layers, colonial facades and contemporary rhythms all overlap. The property positions itself as a base for travellers who want to step directly into that mix, framing the surrounding capital as the "Ciudad de Reyes" and inviting guests to explore the pre-Hispanic, colonial and contemporary faces of Lima without straying far from the lobby.

The address itself is part of the appeal. Being mapped inside the historic centre places the hotel within a short walk of a remarkable concentration of nearby places to eat, all clustered along the surrounding blocks.
