Titilaka
If you’re looking for luxury accommodation around Puno, Titilaka is a fantastic choice. It’s located on a remote private peninsula. This all-inclusive resort is well off the beaten path and has only eighteen rooms, so you’re guaranteed peace and quiet.
Don’t worry about the distance to Puno (an hour’s drive) because meals, drinks, and excursions are already included in the price. The trips cover the islands and the sights on the shore, and there’s an option to travel to the Bolivian side.
The rooms in Titilaka have a sleek modern design with a signature Peruvian touch – the colorful carpets, wall hangings, and pillowcases are authentic local crafts from the region. And, of course, there is the view. What more can you ask for than waking up to the shimmering Titicaca lake every morning?
Hotel Rosario Lago Titicaca
Hotel Rosario Lago Titicaca will get you covered if you want a resort holiday break in your itinerary. Located 2 minutes away from the beach in Copacabana, it has spectacular views of the lake that you can admire from your balcony.
Luckily, all rooms face Lake Titicaca, so there are no wrong choices here. The interiors at Hotel Rosario are spacious and modern but have a Bolivian twist – if you’re a fan of local arts and crafts, you’ll enjoy the décor here.
And importantly, there’s everything here to spoil you after a long time traveling, including gorgeous bathrooms with walk-in showers, an abundance of pillows, and complimentary toiletries (time to stock up for the rest of the road!).
Mirador del Titikaka
Mirador del Titikaka might not be an exclusive resort, but the views are 5-star. The hotel is located on a hilltop with panoramic views of Lake Titicaca, mountains, and the city (which looks incredibly picturesque at night).
Despite being just a 10-minute drive away from Puno, Mirador is set in a quiet and secluded spot, so don’t worry about getting a good night’s sleep. Although the rooms are admittedly quite simple, the fantastic views, warm welcome, and affordable prices make this hotel one of the most popular choices in Puno.
Extra perks? The property has a hiking trail that takes you past ancient tombs and herds of alpacas grazing on the grass.
Libertador Lago Titicaca
If you want a high-quality hotel experience, 5-star Libertador Lago Titicaca is one of the favorites in the area. They’ve covered you for the post-sightseeing chill session – the hotel features a spa with a sauna, a small gym, and an in-house restaurant.
But the real highlight here is the location. Libertador is set on a small island just off Puno (connected to the mainland by a road so you can still get a taxi), giving it the most stunning front-row views of the lake.
The rooms are divided into sunset and sunrise options, so there’s something for everyone, and all of them feature huge windows.
Hostal Las Olas Guesthouse
If you look for originality in your hotel, Hostal Las Olas Guesthouse is an undeniable winner in Copacabana. The complex comprises ten unique private villas that come in different shapes (seashell house, anyone?).
Think of a Gaudi-Esque extravaganza of colors and forms; you have Las Olas. The houses were built using mainly natural materials from the area, and the hotel takes sustainability very seriously, so there is no guilty conscience here.
It would be a shame to only stay here for a night with your own kitchen, fireplace, and garden. Hostal Las Olas is an excellent choice for a more extended stop, so you can fully take advantage of the private terrace and chill in the hammock with lake views right ahead of you.
La Cupula
Hotel La Cupola is well-located for two reasons: it’s close to the main attractions of Copacabana, and it has an insane view. It is situated on a hill and offers sweeping views of Lake Titicaca, the beach, and the city.
Depending on your room choice, you might even be able to enjoy these vistas right from your private patio (worth it!). While being in the mid-range category, this hotel certainly has a lot of flairs.
The whitewashed walls, wooden furniture, and blue stained glass make for a very romantic and nostalgic combination. You can easily spend an entire afternoon here relaxing in a hammock and taking in Copacabana views.
Huaytusive
Whatever you say about Huaytusive, it’s an absolute steal. The furniture might have seen better days, and the interior style is old-fashioned, but this is a bargain for a comfortable double room with breakfast (and a good one at that!).
The hotel is right in the center, so it’s easy to get to and handy if you’re planning day trips.
