Is there any way to get into this hotel for less than $70/night? I stayed there in December, and loved it, but the $100+/night price tag was too much for me.
I read a report once, a guy just walked in and managed to negotiate a rate for around $60/night. I've looked through the internet consolidators, and found Las Americas for as low as $82/night, but that was unconfirmed, they would contact me in 24-48 hours for confirmation(asiarooms.com).
RT, you mentioned as low as $60, depending on where you look...

I would consider Residence Las Americas, but simply have no experience with that hotel, and I know I was happy with their hotel on Benevidas. The rooms aren't the greatest, but the service was excellent! They helped me, as a first-timer in Peru, find everything!

Also, has anyone stayed at La Paz Apart? Its in Miraflores, about 2 blocks from Las Amercas towards the expressway. Their website(lapazaparthotel.com) advertises suites from $70-$120, which I'm guessing can be negotiated for less. The website makes their rooms and location look good, but of course! Anyone ever stay there?

Really, the big question from me is: Has anyone ever negotiated with success at Las Americas?

Thanks in advance,
theCap'n

Your welcome in advance, dear Capt'n (Cool nick BTW, maybe we can talk one day about the "gentlemanlike" wearing of such a piece of indumentary...) AssHat, as a Lima resident I don't know the hotel fares & rankings so well, but a couple of years ago I've co-worked in a kind of security system for the owner company of the "Las Americas" group: At least from this time I remember no "perks" in the hotels of the group were offered by the bosses, outside of VERY cheap "one-night-stays" in the [Solo usuarios registrados pueden ver este link ], which is IMO one of the best places in Lima for a discrete little party or short stay in good-to-excellent company...

Cheers...!

RT here. My second visit to Lima (May, 2005), I paid $60 via southamericahotels.net. It was a steal. They currently list the H&S Las Americas at $99, so go for the $82 if you can.

Well, American Airlines and Spirit Air both put their employees there, and the airlines usually pay next to nothing for hotel rooms, so there has to be some wriggle room; but the airlines also use a LOT of rooms. Good luck -- please report back.

RT, do tou know if American Airlines put their crews up at Las Americas or is it Recidencial Las Americas?
Any info would be helpfull, thanks, G C

I am certain that AA puts their people in H&S Las Americas -- I've talked to AA employees at the hotel and I had a hard time convincing a Tequila Rock girl that I was NOT a pilot when she found out that I was staying there.

And I was talking to a Spirit flight attendant last Thursday and he told me that they would be staying at the Hotel Las Americas. I suppose that it could have been RLA, but I doubt it. The H&S LA is a more full-service hotel, and that's what the airlines use. Also, it's bigger, so there's less worry about selling out and not having rooms available.

The additional link is certainly going to help in future searches, RT. Thanks for your input.

usu-ario- I was given the nick, a long, long, time ago. Of course, I make sure I still deserve the name, from time to time.

The Spirit flight from Fort Lauderdale to Lima with very few exceptions is $199.00

However, coming back is ranging from $199 and up. (Both ex. tax)

Not bad....
