Hotel Paracas, part of The Luxury Collection, is a five star hotel located near Pisco, Peru, 240 kilometres south of Lima. The hotel was established in 1944 year by Emilio Guimoye and is a luxury resort surrounded by desert at Paracas Bay on the Pacific coast. It has 120 rooms, two pools, a lounge bar, three restaurants and a spa.[1]
The bay, once home to Paracas culture, is a national reserve lined with wild beaches and sheltering large populations of sea lions, Humboldt penguins and sea otters.
From the hotel's private dock, boat excursions set out across the bay, offering a view of the ancient geoglyph, Paracas Candelabra, before heading on to the Islas Ballestas home to numerous colonies of local birds and sea mammals.
The hotel has four restaurants and lounges. The Ballestas Restaurant serves Peruvian fusion cuisine such as seafood, mashed potato, avocado, Peruvian chillies and aioli etc. The Bar Lounge serves fusion snacks such as ceviche and a beverage known as the Pisco Sour which includes ingredients such as lemon juice, egg white, sugar syrup and angostura bitter. There is also the Zarcillo Bar serving drinks in a fire-lit room which has some curious items such as a shark jaw and a dolphin skeleton, and the Trattoria restaurant which serves Italian cuisine.[2]
