If you are looking for a really amazing journey and you have the money for it, we suggest getting a 5-star hotel. This is where you will get your every need fulfill and you will sleep like royalty.

Belmond Palacio Nazarenas

Part of the International Belmond chain, this hotel is a palace, with Inca walls and stones. It has an open pool, a spa, a bar, and a place to eat. They offer a free buffet breakfast in the morning and free Wi-Fi.

Their rooms have all that you need, with a private butler.

Here you pay for quality. It’s one of the most expensive hotels in Cusco but people who can afford it, often just want to stay there forever.

Palacio del Inka, a Luxury collection hotel

Part of the Marriot International Luxury Brand, made famous by “Travel+Leisure” as number 3 in the “Top 10 city hotels in Central and South America”

Palacio del Inka is a museum-hotel with an amazing world-class art collection. They have an amazing collection of over 165 pieces. 60 of which are from the Cusco School, which you can admire during your stay. Some pieces of the mansion, such as the arch and the stairs have been intact since the Inca period.

There are three reasons why we really like this hotel. 1) The staff is friendly, courteous, and helpful. They are there in every respect from the moment you check in to the moment you walk out the front door on your way home. 2) They have done an amazing job. Especially with the Incan and colonial options of the building while keeping a warm and modern stay. 3) Their on-site tour operator VENTURIA can offer unique journey like the Cusco City Tour and Machu Picchu Tour right from the lobby!

Belmond Hotel Monasterio

A great choice for those seeking a historical-style, luxury accommodation option in Cusco

As its name implies, the Belmond Hotel Monasterio sits on the site of a Jesuit Monastery built in 1595 to train Catholic priests in Cusco. Prior to this date, it was the Palace of the Inca Amaru Qhala.  Today, you won’t find any Inca design in this property but you will find an amazing example of colonial renaissance style design and a world famous Cusco landmark.

One thing that does set Belmond Hotel Monasterio apart from other hotels in Cusco is the best Belmond service. No request is too big here and friendly staff do everything to make your stay the best. Rates include a buffet breakfast with tasty bread and pastries made by the in-house French pastry Chef that are also in the Deli Monasterio Café next door.

JW Marriot Hotel Cusco

The 153-room, five-star JW Marriott hotel Cusco like many buildings in Cusco is packed full of history and is built on the site of the Colonial Convent of San Agustin dating from the 16th century.

Portuguese named Ana Patricia Piña was hired to keep the cultural and historic essence of the hotel and retain original features such as the chapel, which is now the reception area, the original wall of the convent in the Pirqa eatery, and the archaeological exhibition spaces with Incan and Killke (the culture prior to the Incas) archaeological artifacts. The pillars in the central patio, for example, were removed piece by piece for restoration during the construction work and then re-installed, giving an original feel to the colonial patio.

The decoration is inspired by the colonial era with colonial art, furnishings, and antiques found throughout the hotel. A sparkling waterfall of diamond-cut crystals draws you into the reception area with an incredible 65,000 Swarovski crystals twinkling in the representation of the Incan Sun God Inti.

Costa Del Sol Ramada Cusco

NOVOTEL CUSCO

Machu Picchu is the cherry on top of any Cusco tour, and there are several ways to get there. The most common and traditional is by train (03 hours of travel), while the other option is for adventurers, trekking along the Inca Trail, the Salkantay snow route, or the Lares route (4 to 5 days) or combining bus (4 hours) + train (1 hour).
