Belmond Hotel Monasterio

A living museum in the heart of the ancient Inca capital, the Belmond Hotel Monasterio is housed in a 16th-century former monastery built atop the very stones of the Inca empire. Centered around a magnificent cloistered courtyard with a centuries-old cedar tree, the Peruvean hotel is a baroque masterpiece of gilded altars, religious art, and stone-carved arches. Every corner of the property whispers of its 400-year history, yet the service and amenities—including oxygen-enriched rooms to assist with the high altitude—are entirely modern. Staying here is not just about a bed; it is about inhabiting the spiritual and architectural soul of Cusco, just steps from the vibrant energy of the Plaza de Armas.
