Introducing SOUMA Hotel Lima

Vignette Collection is launching SOUMA Hotel Lima in Peru as its first destination in South America. As the latest addition to IHG’s expanding luxury lifestyle offerings, the Vignette Collection features unique hotels in unforgettable locations. Conveniently located in the Miraflores district of Lima, SOUMA Hotel Lima overlooks the Pacific Ocean from the Malecón. Managed by Iberostar Hotels & Resorts, it is now accepting reservations starting March 2025.

Leanne Harwood, SVP and Managing Director of Luxury & Lifestyle Americas, IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “Peru is a destination celebrated for its beauty and culture, and we are excited to lay the foundation for the growth of Vignette Collection in South America with the brand’s first property here. SOUMA Hotel Lima is filled with individuality and character and brings a new dimension of discovery to Vignette Collection, which has experienced strong momentum globally in its first three years. This latest addition perfectly complements the portfolio’s unique hotels in memorable destinations from Bangkok and Lisbon to Shanghai, Budapest and Dubai.”

SOUMA Hotel Lima offers guests a distinctive experience designed to awaken the senses with its unique blend of textures, aromas, flavours, and spaces. Drawing inspiration from Peru’s Pacaya Samiria Nature Reserve, the hotel features a modern, minimalist design enhanced with natural materials, creating a tranquil oasis in the city’s heart. The 214 guest rooms, devoid of single-use plastics, are carefully crafted to promote relaxation, incorporating light wood, cotton, linen, and expansive windows that allow ample natural light.

Vignette Collection combines each property’s identity with the brand’s collective vision to offer a more authentic travel experience. Each property is distinct, yet united through key hallmarks Memorable Rituals and ‘A Means For Good’:

Memorable Rituals – Tailored to each Vignette Collection property, it connects guests to the hotel’s unique identity and local culture. At SOUMA Hotel Lima, guests are invited to start and end their days with two unforgettable complimentary experiences on the rooftop. Sunrise Yoga Sessions promote energy and well-being every week through a refreshing practice against a stunning backdrop. As the sun sets, casting a beautiful light on the Pacific Ocean, guests can awaken their senses and savour the rich flavours of Peru during the hotel’s daily pisco cocktail tasting, showcasing the nation’s signature spirit for a memorable moment.

A Means For Good initiative at all Vignette Collection properties represents each hotel’s commitment to responsibility, community engagement and local culture. With a commitment to tailoring initiatives to suit the unique character of each hotel, they work to contribute positively to the local community. SOUMA Hotel Lima is committed to being a responsible, conscious member of its community. Working towards a world with zero waste, sustainability, and responsible waste management practices are priorities for the property. It was the first hotel in Lima to be free of single-use plastic. Through its partnerships with varying waste processing companies, the hotel tracks and enhances its environmental impact through tailored programs that reduce waste, transform it into resources, support responsible fishing practices, and promote coastal health.

Peru is famous for its diverse flavours, enticing aromas, and culinary craftsmanship, and the hotel’s three flagship restaurants provide guests with top-notch dining experiences. Ortega & Huamán captivates diners with its inventive blend of Peruvian and Mediterranean cuisines influenced by oceanic elements. On the hotel’s rooftop, 27 Tapas offers breathtaking ocean and city views with a modern tapas experience that fuses Spanish and Peruvian dishes. The menu features live music and performances from some of the city’s finest DJs. Drawing inspiration from a whale journeying through marine wonders, Kimo presents an exciting Japanese Nikkei experience complete with fresh seafood while showcasing an incredible view of the Pacific Ocean.

Guests seeking relaxation and indulgence during their stay can enjoy the expansive rooftop featuring a heated infinity pool and coastline views and the Bambu Spa, which offers an array of soothing treatments and a sauna. Additional hotel amenities include a 24-hour fitness centre and 276 square meters of dedicated meeting and event space spread across four rooms, ideal for family gatherings, corporate events, or intimate celebrations. Guests will also have access to a premier loyalty program, IHG One Rewards, providing richer benefits and more ways to earn than ever before, all powered by advanced technology on its mobile app.
