NM Lima Hotel

This boutique hotel has a great location, sleek modern design and reasonably priced rooms.

A very stylish friend told me about this boutique property. She found the Country Club Lima too large and faux colonial but wanted to be in San Isidro and near Miraflores. The 68-room NM has a sleek, modern design that could be summed up as Milan meets Miami, with an all-white lobby, an attractive courtyard restaurant and a trendy bar and restaurant. My friend, who was there for a wedding, stayed a full week. She found the rooms simple but comfortable and has since referred others who want a pied-à-terre with good service in a prime location for a very reasonable price. NM is very near El Olivar park, which is a great spot for running if you don’t want to stick to the gym.

Those looking for good value.

Those who want to be near the sea or need large rooms and a full-service hotel.
