Hotel Paracas, part of The Luxury Collection, is a five star luxury hotel and resort located near Pisco, Peru, 240 kilometres south of Lima. The hotel was established in 1944 by Emilio Guimoye and is a luxury resort surrounded by desert at Paracas Bay on the Pacific coast. It has 120 rooms, two pools, a lounge bar, three restaurants and a spa.[1]
The bay, once home to Paracas culture, is a Paracas National reserve lined with wild beaches and sheltering large populations of sea lions, Humboldt penguins and sea otters.
From the hotel's private dock, boat excursions set out across the bay, offering a view of the ancient geoglyph, Paracas Candelabra, before heading on to the Islas Ballestas home to numerous colonies of local birds and sea mammals.
