We spent three nights at Katari hotel in Arequipa (May 2026). You can't beat the location, right on the central plaza! They serve a very nice breakfast (made to order) on the open-air terrace overlooking the Plaza de Armas. It was so peaceful and lovely. We also had drinks at sunset from the same terrace. Loved it! The rooms are clean and spacious, the beds are comfortable and the shower had good pressure and hot water (although there was one day when it was not as hot). From the hotel you can easily walk to restaurants (we loved Zig Zag, 13 Monjas and Dimas) and attractions (museum of history; catalina convent). Highly recommend it!

Excellent location directly on Plaza de Armas. Great rooftop for a generous breakfast à la carte menu or a sunset drink. We stayed in a suite which had windows with views of the plaza which was great. The front desk staff is so friendly, and housekeeping did a great job.

I had an amazing stay at the Katari. The rooms were beautiful and well-appointed, with a comfy bed and nice shower. The terrace is wonderful with fantastic views of the main square, cathedral, and volcanoes. The staff was extremely friendly, helpful, and accommodating. While I couldn’t check in early, they allowed me to move my breakfast from the last day to my arrival day. In addition, they surprised me with a treat on my birthday.

I also received a wonderful massage which helped after a long bus ride, and used their laundry service which came back promptly the same day. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Exceptional room. Amazing staff. Excellent wifi and breakfast. The location on Plaza de Armas can’t be beat. So walkable. We loved our stay!

We had one hiccup. We asked for early check-in. Reception said none was available. Upon arriving at approximately 5:30 AM after a 16 hour overnight bus ride, we asked again. Reception said they could store our bags. Check-in was 1pm. Then they said for $50 USD we could check in early. We declined and stored our bags. We went for breakfast with fellow travellers. All were able to check in early for free at their hotels.

When we returned from breakfast around 9am and asked to wait on the terrace, we were informed our room was ready and our luggage was in it. We were very, very happy and booked a few more nights.

It was a great location. The restaurant was very good. Our first room was a little warm and they brought us a fan. The second room had a portable air conditioner in it, which made it very comfortable. It is in the historic area and it is logical that They have limitations on what they can do. Overall, a great experience.

Tow days before our check-in started demonstrations from miners fighting for rights, so they closed the highway so there was no way to get there. I called the hotel to cancel the reservation but denied it saying I had to do it through Expedia. They denied it to Expedia as well. They were well aware of the political situation and stopped answering the phone.

Katari’s location is second to none: right in front of the main city plaza. The rooms were nicely appointed. There is no AC, just a fan, which we didn’t really need to use during our stay (early May). Breakfast on the rooftop offers a killer view of Plaza de Armas with the cathedral and volcano as a beautiful backdrop. Staff are super friendly and helpful. The plaza can get noisy at night, but is safe with lots of police officers around.

Excellent location, with plenty of dining and shopping options around the hotel. Good breakfast with a wonderful view of the city from the breakfast area. Breakfast staff were lovely and wonderful. However, the check in and checkout experience was slightly below average. No warm greetings or help with the luggage during checkout. Not a make a make or break thing, particularly given the wonderful location of the hotel, but it’s the little details that count. At check-in, I required assistance with translation to understand what my taxi driver was saying and I found the interaction very frustrating. I explained to the gentleman at the check-in that I simply required translation and he seemed somewhat bothered by this rather than being helpful. Overall, the location makes up for the minor details, but it was worth noting for other travellers.

Peruvian Charm and Sunrise Views

Best hotel staff ever! We loved, loved, loved our stay at the Katari Hotel in Arequipa. The staff at the hotel are some of the friendliest and fun people we have ever met. They made our time in Arequipa so memorable. Flora, Shamira, and Edison made our mornings bright and sunny with their hospitality and yummy breakfasts. And what a view from the rooftop terrace of the surrounding volcanoes! What a way to start and end the day. Wow! We were even serenaded for my partner's birthday with cake and candles. Thank you, Katari Arequipa, staff for the best time in Peru!

Gorgeous experience!

We loved our six night stay at Katari. The rooms were comfortable with traditional furniture and lovely linens. The location on the Plaza de Armas can’t be beat. The views from the rooftop restaurant and bar are spectacular at all times of the day, but especially at sunset, with the lights on the cathedral coming up and the sun turning the snow capped volcanoes pink.

The only thing better are the staff, so kind, warm and responsive. Highly, highly recommend this place!

Only negative with location is that as the plaza is the centre so can be noisy.

Lovely hotel in the perfect location.

I stayed there twice on my trip and it was fantastic. The location is absolutely perfect on the Plaza de Armas and the views from the rooftop are breathtaking. The room lacked AC but had a ceiling fan so it was still comfortable. Great shower in the bathroom and everything was nicely appointed. Staff was great and very professional.

Number 1 place to stay in Arequipa

The hotel is as central located as could be right on the Plaza del Armas with a fantastic view from our room. The rooftop restaurant is serving as the breakfast place. This is super relaxing with the view of three Volcanos, breathtaking. Being in the center and within walking distance from Arequipa’s best restaurants is fantastic. The staff is very helpful and friendly and has given us great advice on restaurants and support with our excursions.

Great stay. The hotel has an incredible architecture and a very respectful design. It makes you notice that you are staying in a truly unique place full of history.
Staff was great.
Breakfast was superb and the view from the rooftop was beyond words.
The only downside: we stayed in a room with an window looking over an internal stair and there was not much ventilation so the room has an odd smell.
Cleaning could be better. We found some hairs on the floor and in the bathroom the second we arrive

Staff is friendly and helpful. We checked out at 3am for an overnight trek and they not only had a to-go breakfast ready for us but they stored our luggages and had already stored them in our room when we checked back in the following night. The hotel’s location is ideal. The rooftop bar was beautiful and the VIP free drinks were a great perk. The rooms are nicely decorated and well equipped with mini fridge, water filter, and percolator. Highly recommend!

Perfect location in La Plaza de Armas. Close to shopping, restaurants, Monastary de Santa Catalina and the Cathedral.
Staff very friendly and helpful.
Rooftop restaurant with amazing views of the city. A bit cold at night so bring heavy jacket. No heat lamps.
Beds very comfortable. Robes, slippers, safe and electric kettle in room for tea available. Rooms did not have AC or heat but did have a ceiling fan. A bit noisy on 3rd floor. No bottled water in rooms or wash cloths. Rooms could use better lighting. Overall a good experience and would recommend primarily due to location, rooftop restaurant and affordability.

Definitely come back!

My fiancé and I had a very nice experience at this property. Perfectly located in the heart of the city, with a nice roof top terrace for breakfast or drinks at sunset. This hotel is in good condition and keeps an original style… What I appreciate the most was the outstanding service of the employees. Thank you! … Definitely a place to return.

The hotel is not what we were expecting according to the reviews. A person was working with a hammer next to our room. No shampoo nor conditioner was provided. when I was taking my shower, I had to call the front desk. The bathtub looks dirty in the corner next to the faucet and hair. Very disappointed!

Una joya en el centro de la ciudad

UIbicado en la Plaza de Armas de la ciudad (Plaza Mayor), un excelente hotel 4 estrellas con un servicio de calidad y un restaurante en la terraza desde donde se puede apreciar la Catedral de Arequipa y los 3 volcanes detrás. La comidad y carta de bebidas está muy bien. Es una experiencia muy recomendable, sobre todo para parejas. El servicio A1 y muy meticulosos con la total satisfacción de los huéspedes. (También es posible ir al restaurante para los que no se alojan en el Hotel). Las habitaciones muy bien cuidadas con detalles coloniales.

Katari Hotel is a dream hotel. The room was absolutely stunning. It had a whole living area with vintage like furniture. The reception though small has beautiful chandeliers. The room also has beautiful furniture. The room we had was facing the square. Behind the square is the volcanic mountain called Misty and we could see Misty through the window. This was the best part. There's a restaurant at the rooftop of the hotel. It's so beautiful in the evening when the city lights are on. I highly recommend this hotel.

PROS:

This hotel is very nice. It’s right in front of Plaza de Armas and close to a lot of good restaurants and shops. Taxis are very easily accessible

Our clean and the beds are very comfy. They provided robes, slippers and clean filtered water in the bathroom.

Staff is very helpful whenever we have questions. They are always happy to help. The day we decided to tour the city was a Sunday and a lot of establishments were closed. The receptionist suggested a 5-hour tour around the city and it definitely saved our day. We had a wonderful time.

CONS

We asked the hotel to pick us up at the airport but the person communicating with us through expedia messenger totally misread our flight number. When we got to the airport, our shuttle service wasn’t there. Luckily, we got a taxi easily. Please read the messages carefully so this won’t happen again.

Noise from another room can easily ruin your rest/sleep. Our first night was great. But on our second night unfortunately, the group of people staying above our room was so noisy, their conversations/laughs were literally reverbarating in our room. Our trip next day is scheduled early and we are trying to sleep. At around 10:30 PM, we had enough so we called the reception and she helped us get the noise under control.

Overall- we still enjoyed our stay. Just hope that you don’t get any noisy neighbors like we did.

A little expensive for South America, although Peru is more expensive than other countries. Great room, a little annoyed I had to move because of booking halfway through. Right on the square, a great place to people watch.
