South America 2016
We are safely returned to the faded (and fading) grandeur of the Gran Hotel Bolivar, Lima. Here, for the price of an Ibis on Commercial Road we have an entrance hall, a main bedroom with sofa and armchairs, leading off to the dining room with dining table, 6 chairs and the door to the kitchen-ette, while in the other direction the second bedroom looms and off it the bathroom, with parquet floors throughout. Chain hotels take note!
Granted, there is more than a hint of mildew in the air, there isn't a true line or plane in sight, and any self respecting estate agent would blush at my use of the term kitchen-ette, but better to have had grandeur and faded, than never to have had grandeur at all!
