Frommer's Very Highly Recommended

This upscale business traveler's hotel isn't as luxurious as the exclusive Park Plaza or Swissôtel, but it's more affordable, making it a very good value given the overall quality and dependability of the Marriott chain. It's a gleaming, ultramodern high-rise building hugging the coast and parks along the malecón, replete with glitzy ground-floor shops and a much-frequented casino. It seems to serve mostly short- and long-term business travelers from North and South America, but it's perfectly fine for leisure travelers and families. Children can be easily entertained at the outdoor pool or on the tennis court. Rooms are very well equipped and comfortable, with nice bathrooms, if without a whole lot of individual character. Inexpensive weekend rates are frequently available, making the Marriott one of the best values in Lima.
