Casa Andina Private Collection Arequipa is raised on the old “Casa de la Moneda” (old Mint), a national historic landmark built in 1794, what makes our hotel more a living museum than a hotel.Casa Andina, in the centre of Arequipa, is a unique 18th-century colonial mansion made of volcanic stone. The hotel’s restaurant, Alma Cocina Viva, which opens up to the main courtyard serves Peruvian cuisine and specialities local to Arequipa.
