Accommodation
HOTELS: Lima has the largest choice of hotels in Peru. Other cities where 5- and 4-star hotels can be found are Cusco, Arequipa, Cajamarca, Chiclayo, Trujillo, Puno, Iquitos and Ica (the grading does not always match international standards). Throughout Lima and in most major towns, there are many economical pensiones (guest-houses) to be found. The quality of accommodation in the provinces varies considerably, but hotels are frequently of a good standard. Hotel prices in the provinces are lower than in the capital. Grading: Hotels are classified by the star system, the highest and most luxurious being 5 stars. The level of comfort, quality of service and general infrastructure are the criteria for inclusion in each grade. Prices vary accordingly. All accommodation prices are subject to 18 per cent tax (IGV). Hotels of the higher categories might also add 1-13 per cent service charges.
