"Immerse yourself in the culture of Cuzco at this hotel set in a former monastery. Though just steps from busy Plazoleta de las Nazarenas, the cloistered courtyard is an oasis." - Monisha Rajesh
"Readers' Choice Awards 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2023."
"We liked the spa and restaurant, and our room facing the pool was beautiful and spacious." - Travel + Leisure Editors
"Located in a former 16th-century monastery with all the furnishings of a modern-day stay, this 126-room property has been on the World's Best list more than 15 times in the awards' 27-year history. Guests are encouraged to slow down and savor local life – and traditional coca tea – as they adjust to the city's high altitude. Religious artwork pays homage to the building's past life, while a daylong Pisco-and-opera experience combines cocktail tastings and dinner at El Tupay restaurant with a live opera performance." - Samantha Falewée
"A dedicated national monument dating back to 1592, this former monastery sits on Inca stone foundations, which were later topped by plenty of Spanish colonial flourishes. Evidence of the hotel’s history is everywhere you look, from the rich fabrics and antique furnishings to the 18th-century paintings that decorate the public spaces. The 125 rooms and suites feature original design elements, along with perks like butler service and free Wi-Fi. Many are even enriched with oxygen to help combat the effects of Cuzco ’s dizzyingly high altitude. The Illariy Restaurant, overlooking the serene courtyard, is ideal for a leisurely breakfast, while the Lobby Bar is the spot for a late-afternoon pisco and live jazz around the fireplace. Though the central Plaza de Armas buzzes just a few blocks away, once you’re through the hotel’s arched doorways, you’re in another world—and century."
