About Sonesta Hotel Arequipa
Sonesta Hotel Arequipa is a large modern hotel in Cerro Colorado, inside the district's City Center, a newer financial quarter rather than the colonial core. The hotel presents itself around comfort, efficiency and style, and its rooms look toward the mountains and volcanoes around the city. Travelers who want to stroll the old stone streets on foot should plan transport, since the historic center lies outside this neighborhood.
Listings show Executive King, Standard King and Junior King Suite categories. The two king rooms are each 34 square meters and sleep up to three, and the Executive category adds access to a lounge. Rooms are soundproofed, and family rooms are offered, which suits parents traveling with children who want a quiet night between tours.
The spa has a sauna, massage and treatment rooms set up for couples, and the fitness center stays open around the clock. The on-site restaurant serves Arequipeña cooking, and breakfast is included. Parking is available on site, and a 24-hour business center sits in the lobby for anyone working while traveling.
