Hyatt Hotels Corporation and El Pardo Hospitality have announced the debut of The Legend Paracas Resort, joining the Destination by Hyatt brand. It is the second Hyatt hotel in Peru following Hyatt Centric San Isidro Lima and the 15th Hyatt hotel in South America.

Paracas is located on the coast of Peru, about three hours south of Lima. The 124-suite resort is nestled between the Paracas Nature Reserve and the Pacific Ocean, offering panoramic views of the Paracas Bay and desert hills.

The opening on June 19th unveiled a fully renovated reception desk and lobby, along with a number of enhancements designed to enrich the guest experience. The resort now offers a covered parking garage with two EV (electric vehicle) chargers and a redesigned restaurant and bar inspired by the Paracas culture that evokes the connection between the desert and the sea.

“It is a privilege to join forces with Hyatt to open The Legend Paracas Resort and connect guests with the people, place and culture of this unforgettable coastal town. This has been an exciting project for our team, and we are thrilled to officially open our doors to local Peruvians and global travelers alike and invite guests and World of Hyatt members to make this destination their own,” said Ricardo Bracale, CEO of El Pardo Hospitality.

The Legend Paracas Resort is comprised of 124 two-room suites, each equipped with private balconies or terraces with ocean, garden or pool views.

Each suite includes a living room with a sofa bed, TV and desk, a kitchenette with a microwave, coffee maker, tea kettle and minibar. Rooms on the first floor have terraces, while those on the second floor have balconies.
