"If you are looking for a peaceful retreat right in the heart of Arequipa, Cirqa is unmatched. The location is absolutely perfect—tucked away just a short walk from the main town square and the city’s top tourist attractions, yet it feels worlds away from the urban bustle the moment you step inside. The design of the property is spectacular. It occupies a beautifully preserved historic monastery, and the impeccable decor seamlessly blends the old with the new. Bold, modern elements like sleek black metal and floor-to-ceiling glass contrast beautifully against the centuries-old volcanic sillar stone, creating a stunning, sophisticated aesthetic. The rooms offer an incredible sanctuary after a day of exploring, featuring exceptionally comfortable beds that guarantee a perfect night’s rest. What truly elevates the experience, however, is the team. The staff are incredibly kind, welcoming, and attentive to every detail without ever being intrusive. To top it all off, the on-site restaurant is an absolute must-visit. We traveled extensively throughout the country, and the meals we had at Cirqa were hands-down the best food we tasted in all of Peru. For anyone visiting the White City, Cirqa offers an exquisite blend of history, modern luxury, and world-class hospitality. It is worth every star."

"My husband and I stayed at Cirqa for 3 days and it was soooo nice. The property itself is incredibly unique and the location is about a block from the main square. Our room was luxurious, historic and very quiet. The entire staff was very helpful, welcoming, and accomodating - it is clear that they care about the guest experience. We ate breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant which was a very intimate and inviting space. In the adjacent outdoor space, we had afternoon tea each day while enjoying the sunshine. I would HIGHLY recommend staying at Cirqa if in Arequipa."

"This is a beautiful property, with only eleven rooms, well-located and beautifully designed. The staff is close to perfection, among the nicest we have encountered anywhere. It has to be one of the best hotels we have stayed in, and one of the most comfortable. The restaurant was also wonderful, with very personalized service."

"My son and I stayed here during Thanksgiving break 2025. The hotel grounds are breathtakingly beautiful. We found our room to be exceptionally clean and service was phenomenal. Everyone goes out of their way to assist, I definitely plan to stay here again."
