Westin Lima Hotel Opens as Brand’s First in South America

Accelerating its global portfolio growth, Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide, Inc. announced this week’s opening of its first Westin hotel in South America -- The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center in Peru. Located in San Isidro, the financial and shopping hub of Lima, Peru, The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center features 301 rooms and the largest meeting and convention facilities in Peru.

The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center is opening under a franchise agreement between Grupo Libertador and Starwood.

The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center boasts more than 28,000 square feet of space, including 10 meeting rooms and a grand ballroom. Additional facilities include a three-meal restaurant and a fine dining restaurant headed by Chef Rafael Piqueras.

The hotel also features an In Site Bar to enjoy international cocktails, lobby lounge, and an additional lounge on the 29th floor. Designed by Miami-based Arquitectonica and renowned New York designer Tony Chi, The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention is a notable addition to the Lima skyline.

In the rooms, guests will find the Westin Heavenly Bath experience, the Heavenly Bed, high-speed Internet access and an ergonomic work space. The Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center features a 24-hour WestinWorkout gym, an indoor pool and the SuperfoodsRX menu.

Located on the second floor of the hotel, the Heavenly Spa by Westin features 14 treatment rooms and a choice of signature Heavenly treatments created by Comfort Zone, the Italian spa brand. With the addition of the new Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center, Starwood now has nine Westin Hotels in Latin America, six Westin hotels in Mexico, one in Guatemala and one in Costa Rica. Overall, Starwood Hotels & Resorts now has 65 hotels and resorts in 13 countries in Latin America.
