Hotel Maury is a long-established hotel in the historic centre of Lima, close to the Plaza San Martin and a short walk from the Plaza Mayor. It is a good fit for travellers who want to be among the colonial buildings, balconied mansions and churches rather than on the modern coast, and its location means that the cathedral, the San Francisco Convent and the Casa Aliaga are within easy walking distance. The hotel has a classic style with older architecture, and rooms are straightforward and practical, with a bar and restaurant on site. It is an economical choice for history lovers and budget-minded visitors, and it gives an early start for exploring the old town before the crowds arrive.
Location and getting around
You are in the heart of the historic centre, so most of the main sights are on foot. The Metropolitano bus line runs nearby, and taxis are easy to find, but the district is busy by day and quiet at night, so take care walking at night and use a licensed taxi or ride app after dark. The coastal districts of Miraflores and Barranco are a taxi or bus ride away.
Rooms and atmosphere
Rooms are plain and practical, and the building has the character of an older city hotel rather than a boutique design. Light sleepers should ask for a quiet room away from the street, since the area is lively in the day. The bar and restaurant provide an easy place to relax and eat without going out, and the lobby and staff are used to helping visitors with directions and tours.
Who it suits and what to know: history lovers, solo travellers and budget-conscious visitors will enjoy the position. If you want sea views, shopping and the fine-dining scene, Miraflores will suit you better. Check what is included in your rate, such as breakfast, and ask about luggage storage if you arrive early. Keep valuables out of sight in the busy centre, and plan evenings with transport in mind.
