Hotel Indigo Lima Miraflores at a Glance
The Shared Complex Advantage
The core appeal of Hotel Indigo is its integration with the adjacent InterContinental Real Lima Miraflores. The two properties share a central courtyard, giving Indigo guests the atmosphere of an intimate boutique stay alongside access to expansive 5-star facilities:
Top-Floor Infinity Pool: A heated rooftop pool overlooking the Pacific coast, ideal for unwinding after a flight.
Presence Spa & Wellness: A full-service luxury spa featuring specialty body scrubs, massage treatments, hydrotherapy circuits, steam and dry saunas, and ocean-view relaxation loungers.
Premium Fitness Center: A state-of-the-art gym fully equipped with modern Technogym strength and cardio equipment.
Five Dining Venues: Guests can dine at Indigo’s traditional Peruvian venue, Nina, or cross the courtyard to access Nau Nikkei Rooftop for Japanese-Peruvian fusion, Factory for steak and seafood, Circo for outdoor courtyard drinks, and The Market for an international fare.
The Market Breakfast: Indigo guests can head next door to The Market each morning to enjoy an extensive international buffet breakfast rather than a basic continental menu.
Accommodations: Designed for Quiet Comfort
Though set in the heart of Miraflores, the rooms at Hotel Indigo are engineered for total quiet. Heavy, double-paned soundproofed windows keep city traffic out, making it easy to unwind at any hour. Every accommodation comes fully equipped with thoughtful comforts, including a dedicated coffee station, plush bathrobes and slippers, and spacious walk-in showers.
The 76 rooms feature warm, artful decor inspired by mid-century design and local Peruvian textiles:
Standard Rooms: Larger than typical boutique rooms at 34 sq. m., available with a King bed or two true Queen beds — a great option for friends or family traveling together.
Suites: Perfect for a romantic couple’s getaway, featuring large freestanding soaking tubs and sliding wooden doors that let you open the bathroom directly into the living space for an open-concept flow—or close them for complete privacy.
The Location: Heart of Miraflores
Hotel Indigo sits in one of Lima’s most desirable neighborhood settings, tucked just one block back from the oceanfront Malecón boardwalk. It offers an ideal blend of local residential feel with effortless walkability to the city’s major highlights:
The Malecón & Coastal Parks: Steps from oceanfront walking paths, iconic green spaces like Parque del Amor, and scenic coastal viewpoints.
Dining & Shopping: A 10-minute walk to Larcomar (the cliffside open-air shopping and dining complex) and a quick drive or taxi to world-renowned culinary landmarks like Maido and Central.
Transit & Safety: Located in a secure, highly walkable area. Budget at least 45 to 60 minutes for the drive to Jorge Chávez International Airport (LIM), depending on Lima’s peak traffic hours.
The Verdict: Who Should Stay Here?
If you're looking for all the frills of a five-star stay, then the InterContinental next door remains the primary choice. However, if you want design-forward character, quiet rooms, and full access to premium wellness and dining amenities at a much more approachable rate, Hotel Indigo Lima Miraflores is the smartest base in the city.
This property is ideal for:
Style-Conscious Travelers & Couples: Those who appreciate boutique, stylish spaces and a neighborhood feel over traditional, large-scale hotels.
Smart Luxury Seekers: Travelers who want access to 5-star facilities without paying 5-star rates.
Lima Stopovers: A peaceful, high-comfort base in a walkable neighborhood to recharge before or after visiting Cusco and Machu Picchu.
