Arequipa
Step into a Living Museum. Hidden behind an unassuming wooden door, Palacio Guaqui reveals one of the finest examples of Arequipa’s baroque heritage. Opened in late 2024, this restored mansion combines history and refinement with singular attention to detail — offering dining, a bar, and in-room massage services that elevate the Arequipa experience.
The mansion’s history traces back to the 18th century, when the Spanish crown granted the noble title of Count of Guaqui to a distinguished Creole family from Arequipa of Navarrese descent.
