Sonesta Hotel Arequipa
The rooms are extremely quiet and luxurious. The spa was not run well — no one was there. The breakfast was amazing, but the restaurant's service was on the slow side. The neighborhood is in the business district and boring.

Tierra Viva Arequipa Plaza
The hotel is very elegant. The staff is very helpful. I needed ice a few times. They also were kind enough because they had room to let us come in a couple of hours early when we were dropped off. Breakfast was above average (order the pancakes ) and we had a good time nicely located.
