Marriott International has confirmed plans to transform two high-profile properties in Lima, Peru. The hospitality giant will bring The Ritz-Carlton and JW Marriott brands to the city through a pair of landmark conversions scheduled for completion in 2028. These changes highlight the growing importance of the Peruvian capital as a primary destination for the global luxury travel market.

Under the new plans, the current Westin Lima Hotel & Convention Center in the San Isidro business district will be rebranded as the JW Marriott Hotel Lima. Meanwhile, the existing JW Marriott Hotel Lima located in Miraflores will undergo a transition to become The Ritz-Carlton, Lima. This move marks the arrival of the second Ritz-Carlton property in South America.

The Ritz-Carlton, Lima will join a regional collection of over 10 hotels spanning Mexico, Chile, Costa Rica and the Caribbean. The brand is known for its high standards of service and immersive local experiences. By moving into the Miraflores district, the hotel aims to attract international travellers looking for cultural depth and refined hospitality.

Walter Regidor, Regional Vice President for Central & South America at Marriott International, said: “The transformation of the two properties represents a milestone for the evolution of hospitality in Lima and reinforces the city’s growing presence on the global travel map as a dynamic urban center. As travelers look beyond traditional luxury markets, Lima stands out for its cultural richness, culinary leadership, and vibrant urban energy.”

The new JW Marriott Hotel Lima in Paseo Begonias will focus on well-being and sophisticated travel within the city’s commercial hub. This location is part of a mixed-use development that combines retail and office spaces. Marriott currently operates 17 luxury hotels and residences across key Latin American markets such as Brazil, Colombia and Panama.

These upcoming changes will complement Marriott’s existing high-end portfolio in Peru. This includes Tambo del Inka and Palacio del Inka in Cusco, as well as Hotel Paracas. The company stated that these conversions reflect a long-term investment in the urban development of Lima. By repositioning these assets, Marriott intends to place the city at the centre of the expanding luxury scene in South America.
