This modern, two-storey hotel is set back from Lake Titicaca and has wonderful views over the water, particularly pretty at night when the lights of Puno shine across the water. It’s a quiet setting, about a 15-minute drive from the centre of Puno. A long boardwalk leads down to the private jetty where you can board a boat for a lake and island cruise.

The boardwalk crosses the railway line, and the hotel has its own station for travelling to and from Cusco. Start your day with a generous, and complimentary, spread of cereals, fruits, cheese, ham and cooked eggs. Lunch and dinner are available too, with a choice of continental and regional dishes. The restaurant has floor to ceiling windows offering panoramic lake views, as enchanting by night as by day. Both the restaurant and lobby bar have open fires for chilly evenings.

Rooms are pleasantly furnished, have en suite bathrooms and small balconies. Those facing the lake are superior to those overlooking the road, both for the view and potential noise.
