The legacy of this 1983 UNESCO World Heritage Site dates back to the 15th century and is attributed to the Inca Pachacutec who built the city’s most remarkable constructions.
Among Cusco’s cobbled streets, preserved constructions of the Inca imperial city like Koricancha can still be seen today, overlaid by the Baroque monasteries and mansions of 16th-century Spanish conquests—creating a uniquely rich fusion of past periods and cultures.
Additionally, an exciting nightlife awaits in this magical city, where there are cafés, restaurants, and bars sure to suit all tastes.
Blending two rich old world cultures, Cusco is the heart of Spanish and Incan culture in Peru. Nestled high up in the Andes Mountains, you will find a 16th century monastery surrounded by the lush mountain landscapes. This monastery has been converted into one of the finest and most luxurious hotels in Peru and is protected under the Peruvian National Institute of Culture as a national historic landmark.
As the crowning jewel of the Belmond Luxury hotel brand, Belmond Hotel Monasterio makes the perfect haven for rest and relaxation as well as the perfect base point for exploration. Mystical Machu Picchu is a picturesque three hour train ride away and after you can unwind with a relaxing bath, drawn by your own Bath Butler or participate in aromatherapy massages.
Set in a tranquil plaza behind Cusco’s main square, the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas is a former palace and convent emerged from years of restoration to become one of the city’s most exclusive hotels. Step past walls of Inca stones and into a cloistered courtyard with an ancient fountain at its heart. Then be surprised as contemporary Cusco comes to the fore: a fabulous spa, the city’s first outdoor pool and stylish restaurants serving cutting-edge local cuisine. This intimate urban retreat has just 55 suites, each enriched with oxygen and with its own private bar where guests can create drinks accented with fresh ingredients grown at and around the hotel. Each tranquil terrace and patio is landscaped with indigenous flowers and kitchen herbs. Fountains and flowing water channels echo the irrigation channels of the agricultural terraces found in the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu. A large chapel is located near the ancient wooden doors that mark the entrance to Belmond Palacio Nazarenas. Restored and preserved, the chapel’s gallery now serves as a guest lounge. The second floor houses the library, which also displays Peruvian artifacts. This Belmond luxury hotel is the epitome of culture and class. With many historical sites within the city, Belmond Palacio Nazarenas is the perfect place to not only explore from, but to settle in and enjoy a relaxing moment away from your life as you are taken back to a completely different place and time.
The first boutique hotel in Cusco, Inkaterra La Casona is located in the traditional Plaza de las Nazarenas, surrounded by vibrant, cobblestoned streets. This 16th Century manor house stands on the training grounds for an elite army of Incas, and had Spanish Conquistador Diego de Almagro and ‘Libertador’ Simón Bolívar among its illustrious guests.
After being harmoniously restored by Inkaterra throughout five years, emphasizing its original architecture, Inkaterra La Casona reflects the encounter of cultures and traditions across centuries. Surrounding the main patio, its eleven suites are provided with chimneys, heated floors and extra-large bathtubs. Its halls are decorated with colonial furniture, Pre-Columbian textiles and original murals.
The Yacu therapy room offers bespoke treatments and, like the manor’s dining room, uses products derived from local sources. Those who sleep within the stone walls, beneath the exposed beams, gain a deeper understanding to the city’s cultural heritage.
