Casa Andina Premium Puno
A lakeside hotel on Lake Titicaca with a private pier, oxygen on request and a glass-walled restaurant.
- Address: Av. Sesquicentenario 1970, Sector Huaje, Puno
- District: Puno
Casa Andina Premium Puno sits right on the shore of Lake Titicaca at Av. Sesquicentenario 1970, in the Huaje sector, about 2 miles (3 km) from central Puno, with gardens that run down to the water and a long private pier where boats to the Uros and Taquile islands can depart directly. At about 12,470 feet (3,800 m) above sea level, the hotel is a lake-first property, built around the water and its views. Most rooms open onto small balconies facing the lake and the Altiplano mountains beyond it, and oxygen can be requested for your room, a thoughtful comfort at this altitude. The glass-walled restaurant, Alma, frames the water for breakfast and dinner, with a menu of Peruvian and international dishes that includes fresh trout, and the buffet breakfast is served from 5:30am to 10am. A lobby bar and a sheltered terrace with a fireplace give guests a warm place to sit outside once the sun drops. Check-in is from noon and check-out is before 10am, and the front desk is staffed 24 hours. The hotel also has its own private train stop, which lets guests arriving from Cusco on the Andean Explorer step off right at the hotel. With roughly 45 rooms, it keeps an intimate scale, ideal for couples and families who want a resort-style stay by the lake.
