El Principe

“Only ten minutes by car,” the taxi driver chuckled, “and you’ll be right in the heart of it all.” He was right. El Principe, a modest yet inviting three-star establishment, is just a stone’s throw from the vibrant heart of Arequipa. While it might not boast towering facades or opulent chandeliers, El Principe holds a different kind of charm. This is a place for those who crave authentic experiences, for whom convenience and comfort are paramount. Imagine this: you’ve just spent the day exploring the architectural marvels of Arequipa. Perhaps you’ve strolled through the Plaza de Armas, marveling at the Cathedral’s grandeur. Or maybe you’ve lost yourself in the labyrinthine passages of the Santa Catalina Monastery, a city within a city. You return to El Principe, your senses filled with the sights and sounds of this historical city. El Principe welcomes you with open arms. Kick off your shoes, relax in a room equipped with modern amenities: a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, a spacious desk, and a bathroom with both a bathtub and shower. But El Principe is more than just a place to rest your head. It’s a gateway to the local lifeblood of Arequipa. From here, the Mercado de Manuel Prado, a bustling hive of local commerce, is a mere stone’s throw away. Intrigued by Arequipa’s famed textiles? A short walk takes you to the heart of the textile district. El Principe, you see, is a haven for the savvy traveler. It’s a place to recharge and reconnect with the soul of Arequipa.
