CIRQA
History & Story
Located in the historic centre of Arequipa, CIRQA shares an age-old bond with the San Agustin Church. Like the Church’s traditional parador, where monks would receive travellers with one-of-a-kind service and hearty cuisine, CIRQA was fervently inspired by the unbounded hospitality and ecclesiastical history that still define Arequipa to its core.
Honouring this original concept, CIRQA is a place of both rest and fine cuisine. Designed by the same creative team behind Titilaka, Hotel B and Atemporal, Cirqa is an expansion of our renowned Titilaka Lodge with the same level of services and facilities.

The striking historic complex formed part of the San Agustin church and lies within walking distance of many of Arequipa’s architectural jewels.
