 In 1984 , Bolivian journalist Ted Córdova Claure writes that the Hotel Bolívar stood as a monument to the decadence of Peruvian oligarchy ( in Spanish : " Este hotel es un monumento a la decadencia de la oligarquía peruana . " ) . He noted the locale as being the traditional home of the pisco sour and recommended it as one of the best hotels in Lima . Nowadays , the Hotel Bolivar continues to offer the cocktail in its " El Bolivarcito " bar , while the Country Club Lima Hotel offers the drink in its " English Bar " saloon .
