National Geographic magazine lists Relais & Chateaux Cirqa among the top 48 new trendsetter hotels worldwide. The former Augustinian monastery in Arequipa dates back to the 16th century and today rents out only eleven select rooms. These, however, have a special charm. Walls of white volcanic stone, vaulted ceilings, furniture and design elements made of natural materials, and plenty of sunlight provide the understated flair that defines true luxury today. A freestanding BetteLux Shape bath completes the design perfectly and certainly makes this hotel one of the most exquisite places to stay in all of Peru.
