Costa del Sol Wyndham Arequipa hotel offers one of the most distinctive stays in the White City: a historic colonial-style property set within expansive gardens in the elegant Selva Alegre area. With the atmosphere of a refined retreat and the convenience of being close to Plaza de Armas and Santa Catalina Monastery in Arequipa, it is an excellent choice for travelers who want comfort, character, and easy access to Arequipa’s most important sights.
The Hotel Experience
Atmosphere and Setting
This is one of the few hotels in Arequipa that truly feels set apart from the city without being far from it. Surrounded by broad green grounds, mature trees, and the calm character of Selva Alegre, the hotel has a more relaxed and spacious feel than a standard downtown property. Its architecture and historic personality give the stay a sense of place, while the gardens, open-air areas, and peaceful atmosphere make it especially appealing after a day of sightseeing or business appointments.
For travelers who want more than a convenient address, Costa del Sol Wyndham Arequipa delivers a setting that feels both elegant and restorative. You stay close to the colonial center, but with enough space and quiet to make returning to the hotel part of the experience.
Accommodations
The hotel offers a range of room and suite categories designed for both short city stays and more indulgent visits. Available categories include Superior Room, Garden View Room, Junior Suite, Colonial Suite, Arequipa Suite, Duplex Suite, and Misti Suite, along with accessible and connected-room options.
Rooms are designed with comfort and practicality in mind, featuring high-speed Wi-Fi, large-screen televisions, minibar, in-room safe, climate control, and well-appointed bathrooms. For guests looking for a more elevated stay, the suites provide additional space and a more exclusive feel, while the Misti Suite stands out as a top-tier option with upgraded features including a hydromassage-style hot tub.
The hotel’s outdoor pool and hot tub add to its resort-style appeal, giving guests a welcome place to unwind without leaving the property.
Dining and Bars
Dining is one of the strengths of the stay. Paprika Restaurant serves Peruvian and international cuisine in a polished but approachable setting, making it a convenient option whether you want a relaxed dinner after touring the city or a full meal without leaving the hotel. The daily buffet breakfast also helps start the day comfortably and efficiently.
For cocktails, lighter bites, or an evening drink, Walak Bar offers a more casual atmosphere. Guests who prefer privacy or added convenience can also enjoy 24-hour room service, a valuable option for late arrivals, early departures, or simply enjoying the comfort of the room.
Neighborhood Guide
Shopping and Dining
The hotel’s location gives guests easy access to some of Arequipa’s best-known dining spots. In the historic center, Zig Zag is one of the city’s most established restaurants, known for its creative presentations and meats or seafood served on volcanic stone. Chicha Arequipa is a strong choice for travelers interested in refined regional cooking with a contemporary touch.
For a more traditional local experience, La Nueva Palomino in Yanahuara is one of the best-known picanterías in the city and a good place to try classic Arequipeñan flavors. Tío Darío is another attractive option, combining a pleasant setting with seafood and criolla-style dishes. In Cayma, Salamanto offers a more scenic dining experience with broad views and a menu that blends Peruvian and international influences.
Scenic and Outdoor Experiences
One of the hotel’s advantages is that it allows guests to combine city exploration with a more relaxed base. The route toward the historic center is pleasant and manageable, and nearby areas such as Puente Grau and Yanahuara offer some of the city’s most photogenic walks and viewpoints.
For travelers staying longer, Arequipa also opens the door to memorable outdoor experiences, from countryside excursions and volcano views to full-day adventures on Colca Canyon tours from Arequipa. This makes the hotel a very practical base for both urban sightseeing and regional exploration.
Cultural Attractions
Costa del Sol Wyndham Arequipa is well positioned for visiting the city’s most important cultural landmarks. Santa Catalina Monastery in Arequipa is one of the essential stops in the city, a vast enclosed religious complex with streets, courtyards, and architecture that reveal centuries of colonial history.
The Plaza de Armas and Arequipa Cathedral remain at the heart of the city’s identity, while the Museo Santuarios Andinos adds an important archaeological dimension through its exhibits linked to Inca history and the famous mummy known as Juanita. Guests who want to explore these highlights in greater depth may also wish to consider Arequipa city tours during their stay.
