The Gran Hotel Bolívar is a historic hotel located on Plaza San Martín in Lima, Peru. Designed in 1924 by noted Peruvian architect Rafael Marquina, it was the first large, modern hotel in Lima.
As part of a modernization program for Lima, the hotel was built on government-owned land. The hotel was inaugurated on December 6, 1924, in honor of the 100th anniversary of the Battle of Ayacucho, a decisive military encounter during the Peruvian War of Independence. The square itself was inaugurated on July 27, 1921, to mark the centenary of Peru's independence.
During the 1940s and 1950s, the hotel attracted Hollywood film stars such as Orson Welles, Ava Gardner and John Wayne, where many also discovered the local cocktail, the Pisco Sour.

In its heyday, the Gran Hotel Bolivar was the place to be in Lima. Built at the request of the government on state property and designed by Peruvian architect Rafael Marquina, its original raison d'être was to serve as a sophisticated base for politicians. Charles de Gaulle, Nixon, Robert Kennedy and Emperor Akihito all stayed at the Bolivar, which is located in the royal Plaza San Martín, six blocks from the Government Palace.

A beautiful colonial-era hotel. It seems as if time has stood still here. Some exhibits are on display in the hotel lobby.
