The hotel is three floors. The first floor is made up of the entry desk, bar/bistro, courtyard/seating, and rooms. The second floor comprises more rooms, an indoor lounge area, and a stunning walkway overlooking the first floor courtyard. The third floor features even more rooms and an outdoor roof-like seating area. The entire hotel is dressed in greenery, with long luscious plants draping and hanging in the courtyard from floors above. The entire building showcases high wooden ceilings, intimate lighting, stunning fixtures, and the most beautiful tile I’ve ever seen.

Each room at Mosquito Boutique Hotel is thoughtfully equipped to ensure a comfortable stay. Smart TVs, mini-fridges, and safes are standard amenities, in the rooms while complimentary high-speed internet access keeps you connected. The Double Rooms, which is what I stayed in, with Queen beds and walk-in bathrooms, strike a balance between relaxation and functionality, offering a cozy retreat after a day of exploration. They also feature a seating area with space for one, plus a desk. At what I’d consider an extremely reasonable price, Double Rooms at Mosquito Boutique Hotel Zona Colonial start at $95/night (plus tax).

Culinary Delights
Commence your day at Mosquito Boutique Hotel Zona Colonial with a complimentary American breakfast that caters to diverse tastes. Breakfast is full-service and takes place daily from 7:00AM – 11:00AM. We enjoyed breakfast in the hotel’s beautiful courtyard. Complimentary breakfast consists of fresh juice, coffee/tea, fresh fruit, and a choice of freshly made traditional breakfast orders (eggs, etc.). You have the option to upgrade to a breakfast item located on their full menu for a small cost, in which I chose the Huevos Rancheros. It was absolutely delicious, along with the fresh chinola (passion fruit) juice.
The hotel’s bistro takes pride in its fusion cuisine, skillfully combining Peruvian and international flavors. The menu is a delightful exploration of culinary innovation, complemented by signature craft cocktails that add an extra layer of sophistication to the dining experience. I truly enjoyed dinner at the Mosquito Boutique Hotel Zona Colonial’s Bistro, and it is also the perfect place to enjoy a drink. I ordered a Pisco Sour de Chinola, and it was excellent, along with the mouthwatering Tostada de Lomo a la Parrilla, Ceviche Carretillero, and Sushi Roll Acevichado. The bistro has a lovely environment with great music and outstanding service.
Parking Options
For those arriving by car, like I did, you can opt for street parking for free or choose the paid parking available 24/7 at Parqueo Banco Reservas Garage, located just two blocks away. I parked on the street for the duration of my five-day stay and had no issues.
