Hall’s signature palette of green, pink, and yellow imbues the space with a romantic sensibility, enhanced by London-based artist Timba Woollard’s mural of oversized Engadin wildflowers on the vaulted ceiling. This striking artwork is complemented by glossy olive-green lacquered panelling inspired by Spanish Baroque doors, an elegant addition that serves to almost wrap the room in a tactile sense of wonder. Mushroom-shaped plaster lights, blush pink tablecloths, and a hand-woven carpet featuring an antelope print underscore the attention to detail, while paintings by Peruvian artist Ernesto Gutierrez and Hall’s own floral and Peruvian landscape sketches add layers of storytelling—Hall’s sketches also adorn the cotton tote bags that guests receive when they check in.

Amaru’s design is more than a visual feast; it’s an immersive experience meant to connect guests with the culinary journey. "When I visit a restaurant, I want to be transported somewhere more fantastical," says Hall. “I want to enter another world, but this has to feel connected to something real.” This philosophy aligns seamlessly with chef Claudia Canessa’s vision. Drawing on her Peruvian-Italian heritage, Canessa delivers bold, street-food-inspired dishes rooted in simple yet beautifully prepared ingredients. Her cuisine is a vibrant echo of Amaru’s aesthetic, one that is unexpected yet deeply tied to its surroundings.
