Lima’s most stylish spots...
• Cool hotel
The outside of the Casa Andina Private Collection hotel in Miraflores is all sharp angles and glass. Inside, sleek guest rooms with white linens and dark-beam ceilings contrast with public spaces decorated with colourful Peruvian textiles (casa-andina.com).
• Hot shop
Dédalo sells an eclectic selection of locally made accessories and housewares. Check out the handmade paper notebooks ($18) and the eye-catching purses that Recurseo (recurseo.com) makes from recycled balloons ($66).
• Top restaurant
French-born designer Aurelyen Conty — whose sportswear line, Misericordia (misionmisericordia.com), is made in Lima and sold worldwide — loves the tiny seafood restaurant Sankuay. Known as “Chez Wong,” it’s located in chef Javier Wong’s home. Wong chops the fish tableside and sears it over a fire in the back. “It’s a show,” says Conty. There’s no menu — Wong just cooks whatever appeals to him in the market — but you’ll usually find marinated raw fish, which Conty claims is “the best ceviche in Lima.” Reservations are essential (011-51-1-470-6217).
