==History== The hotel was inaugurated in 1835. Founded by the [[July Monarchy|French]] merchant Pedro Maury, it was created as an inn for travelers passing through [[Lima]]. It is located in block 3 of Jirón Carabaya, one block from the capital's main square.<ref name=Sánchez/>
Thanks to the fact that its property passed into the hands of the [[Chile]]an named Lecaros, the hotel was not looted during the [[occupation of Lima]] by the [[Chilean Army|army of that country]], when Peru faced Chile in the [[War of the Pacific]].<ref name=Sánchez/>
Its ownership was transferred to Antonio Bergna after its purchase. In 1954 the 45-room building was demolished and the reconstruction was carried out by local architect {{ill|Héctor Velarde|es|Héctor Velarde Bergmann}} and the engineer Adolfo Carozzo. The new building has five storeys.<ref name=Sánchez/> It was later remodelled again and reopened in February 2000.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.enjoyperu.com/hotels/espanol/lima/maury/index2.htm |title=HOTEL MAURY |website=Enjoy Travel Peru |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070609151936/http://www.enjoyperu.com/hotels/espanol/lima/maury/index2.htm |archive-date=2007-06-09 |publisher=[[Enel|EDELNOR]] |year=2007}}</ref>
===Bar and restaurant=== The hotel's bar and restaurant were popular for their cuisine and service. The owners also owned the restaurant in the [[Park of the Exhibition]], the Jardín del Camal, and the [[Ancón District|Ancón]] hotel.<ref>{{Cite book |title=Guía del Viajero-Callao, Lima y sus alrededores |last=Cisneros |first=Carlos B. |publisher=Imprenta del Estado |year=1898 |location=Lima |language=es |url=https://archivohistoricodemarina.mil.pe/producto/guia-del-viajero-callao-lima-y-sus-alrededores/ |last2=García |first2=Rómulo E.}}</ref>
The hotel bar became known for its [[pisco sour]]. The drink was invented in the Bar Morris (in the [[Jirón de la Unión|Calle Boza]]), but the recipe was improved in the bar of this hotel.<ref name=Sánchez/><ref>{{Cite web |url=http://www.piscopunch.com/articles.php#7 |title=Mario Bruiget, el peruano que co-cocreó nuestro Pisco Sour actual |date=2010-01-23 |website=PiscoPunch.com |last=Toro-Lira |first=Guillermo L. |access-date=2024-03-30 |archive-date=2015-02-21 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150221123508/http://piscopunch.com/articles.php#7 |url-status=dead }}</ref> Also in the original establishment, another pisco-based cocktail was created, the {{ill|Ponche de los libertadores|es}}.<ref>{{Cite news |title=Fiestas Patrias: conoce la historia del tradicional "ponche de los Libertadores" |url=https://andina.pe/agencia/noticia-fiestas-patrias-conoce-historia-del-tradicional-ponche-los-libertadores-719109.aspx |date=2018-07-28 |work=[[Andina (news agency)|Andina]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite magazine |title=Bebida patriótica 102 (131) |date=2009-07-20 |magazine=[[El Peruano|Variedades.
