"High in the Peruvian Andes, Cusco enchants travelers with its winding cobbled streets and Inca ruins. Naturally, the landscape makes a breathtaking backdrop for wedding ceremonies, particularly those held within Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel. This former monastery and national monument dates back to 1595 and includes a grand Baroque chapel adorned with large-scale original paintings and luminous gold leaf interiors. The cloistered courtyard adjacent to the chapel possesses a 300-year-old cedar tree, further adding to the historical affect of the setting." - Nicole Kliest
"I stayed at Monasterio, set in a former monastery just steps from busy Plazoleta de las Nazarenas, and appreciated its cloistered courtyard, which felt like an oasis amid the market bustle of the Spanish-colonial square. The hotel’s setting allowed me to wander cobblestoned streets easily while remaining within a peaceful, historical retreat." - Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh Monisha Rajesh is a London-based travel journalist and author whose work has appeared in publications like Time and Vanity Fair.
