Casa Morey
A rubber baron's mansion completed in 1913, its exterior covered in Portuguese tiles. Now a boutique hotel, it is the most ornate old building on the riverside promenade.
Casa Morey was built in 1913 by the rubber merchant Luis Morey. It is one of the best-preserved rubber-era buildings in Iquitos. Its exterior is covered in imported Portuguese painted tiles, and the interior features cast-iron railings and a high-ceilinged living room. It has been designated a national cultural heritage site. Today it operates as a boutique hotel, so non-guests can usually only photograph the exterior or sit in the attached café. It is located at the northern end of the riverside promenade, next to the steamship Ayapua.
