The Paracas Hotel, part of the Marriott hotel chain, opened its doors in November 2009 and is recognized as the finest among the three large resorts that debuted that year. The hotel was constructed on the site of the renowned Hotel Paracas, which suffered extensive damage from an earthquake in August 2007 that also devastated the nearby town of Pisco. As one of the premier five-star hotels in southern Peru, the Paracas Hotel is ideally located in Paracas Bay, making it an excellent base for trips to the Ballestas Islands. The hotel offers 120 upscale rooms, two swimming pools, and a 547-square-foot spa dedicated to beauty and relaxation. Guests can also savor a unique blend of Peruvian and Mediterranean cuisine at the on-site restaurant, “Ballestas.” Experience the warmth and charm of this luxurious retreat in Paracas.
