Fausto Andean

Lima is Peru's doorway, not its endpoint. Fausto Andean takes up that idea: where other urban hotels turn their backs on the country beyond, this one offers a prelude — highland weaves, volcanic stone, noble timber from the sierra — so that arrival in the capital already holds the territory to come. A refined reading of the Andean imagination, without folklore or flourish.

For those seeking solitude at the hour of the morning coca tea, the rooms with private terraces; for longer stays, the upper suites, with separate sitting rooms. The kitchen works highland produce through contemporary technique — native potatoes, quinoa in several textures, herb-aged meats — and a short, considered list of Peruvian wines. The chef's table is the natural choice for couples.
