A time capsule from the 1920s

Absolutely amazing hotel with so much history. If you prefer the beauty of bygone eras over modernity this is the hotel for you. Splurge and get the junior suite. It's basically an entire apartment with gorgeous inlaid hardwood floors, 15 ft ceilings a balcony and many period features.

This place is amazing, what a beautiful hotel in the heart of Lima I would definitely recommend this place and will come back. The staff was wonderful, I arrived seven hours before check in and my plan was to leave my luggage in the front office closet and come back to check in but they were able to check me in seven hours prior at no extra cost. They definitely left a good impression and will definitely come back here when I'm in Lima.

This hotel is full of history! Many celebrities have stayed here, and the antique decor makes you feel like you’ve traveled back in time. The food was delicious, and they even prepared a to-go breakfast for us when we left at 4 AM—it was amazing! If you want to experience the charm of old Peru, this is the perfect place to stay.

The hotel is 100 years old and it shows. Room was spacious but it smelled, we tried to sleep with the windows opened but the noise from the plaza San Martin is unbearable. We stayed here two nights and we were given room 406. Across the street there is a nightclub, on Friday the music stopped around 2am but on Saturday night the music was still going on at 5am (the time we left for the airport) Windows are not double sided and you hear everything from outside. If you a lighter sleeper maybe request a higher floor to avoid the noise. The staff were always helpful and friendly. Breakfast was good. The hotel lobby and restaurant were beautiful and it had a lot of history.

The Gran Hotel Bolivar is one of a kind. Approaching its 100th year, the hotel represents a time when the wealthy elite would come to Lima and expect to be greeted by liveried doormen, excellent cocktails and linen tablecloths. It still does not disappoint. While the decor may look a little faded in places, it is clearly a top notch hotel with a beautiful interior and well- trained, helpful staff. I can recommend it highly and, should I be fortunate to return to Lima, I will always choose the Gran Hotel Bolivar as my base.

What a grand hotel

What a grand hotel. We arrived really late due to flight delays and personnel were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great, ask for the coffee, no cream... delicious. The foyer is gorgeous.

I liked the retro nature of the facility - high ceilings and spacious rooms, not your ordinary tourist type of hotel - the hallways were long and empty which gave off a haunted house vibe - the food and bar drinks were exceptional - there was plenty to see within walking distance - an experience worth remembering

I stayed for 3 night for family emergency and the last day was not satisfactory. While I was waiting at the lobby hotel I need to charges my phone, but I could find anywhere. Luckily I saw one outlet near the receptionist. I was standing while I charges my phone because nothing I can be seat. One of employee hotel came to me and he said I can’t charges my phone in there. I looked at him and I did not say anything because I did not want to argue with him. I asked the other one of employee hotel who was he. He was a supervisor security. I could not believe ; If I can’t charges my phone in there, he should offer me the different location. I hope the management hotel would do serve the better service.
