"Long the only hotel at the citadel gates, it’s operating under a concession that has lapsed while authorities weigh returning the site to public use; reservations are open through March 31, 2026, pending confirmation for the remainder of the year." - Paul Jebara
"Located immediately adjacent to the archaeological site, this lodge provides unparalleled proximity to Machu Picchu, allowing overnight guests to enjoy the ruins after day‑trippers depart and experience the site in relative solitude. Its unique position makes it an ideal base for early‑morning or late‑day visits to the citadel and for travelers prioritizing direct access to the historic sanctuary." - Siobhan Reid Siobhan Reid Siobhan Reid is an NYC-based writer, editor, and copywriter.
