Lima, Peru to have its first historic hotel-museum in 2011

Real Estate company Arte Express announces that they will invest some US $5 million to build  the first hotel-museum in Lima, located in the heart of the historic downtown.

Arte Express is planning to build this hotel using two historic buildings, according to the present norms for such cases, since some of these constructions were originally built 400 years ago.

One of these historic buildings is at the first block of Miro Quesada street, and the other on the neighboring Carabaya street, and both are connected.

According to Fernando Palazuelo, from Arte Express, they are currently finishing the project, aiming to start the works as soon as possible so they can open doors in Sept. 2011.

He told the press that this hotel will be a low-cost, thus a shared room may cost some US $8 per night, and that there will be a piece of Peruvian art in each one.
