Cirqa

Cirqa is a boutique hotel located in the historical center of Arequipa, also known as White City because its old buildings are constructed from white volcanic sillar stone. The hotel is part of a 16th-century monastery which has been renovated with the traditional Arequipa structure of arches and columns and the old walls kept intact. Spacious rooms are designed in a modern minimalist style that blends with the original colonial high-vaulted ceilings. Rooms have large windows overlooking a patio, classic high-back chairs and fine linens. Bathrooms have rain showers and organic toiletries. Take a dip in the heated plunge pool in the interior courtyard and indulge in a massage at the spa room. Relax with a drink in the salon or on the terrace. At the homely on-site restaurant, savor executive chef Maria Fe Garcia’s specially created dishes along with “rocoto relleno”, Arequipa’s signature dish of stuffed baked peppers, accompanied by a Tacama Peruvian white wine.
