The LAN website issue is true, although I don't know if it's 50%. I have heard there is a difference...

Miraflores IS the place to stay. Most short term visitors stay there. It's a nice and safe seaside district. My office is actually in Miraflores.

Recommendations? For 1 night in Lima? The Marriot in Miraflores. It overlooks the ocean and is right across from Larcomar and the sea wall. Larcomar is a mall/entertainment centre which is the current nightlife hotspot. It is built on cliffs overlooking the ocean so it's quite picturesque. Staying at the Marriot you would be around 8 blocks from the center of Miraflores (Kennedy Park) where you can take the Mirabus double decker tour bus which will take you to Lima's historical Plaza de Armas among other touristy places. If you don't want to get tired from walking and just take pictures of the "tourist Lima" this would be the way to go.
