Belmond Hotel Monasterio

We spent 3 nights in this magic place.. In The past it was an old monastery and everything was kept in his orignal status that si what makes this hotel unique.. Rooms and Common areas are extremely clean and relaxing, luxuring . The breakfast reminds of something royal and we were impressed by the quality of the food. A big THANK YOU to al The staff , all The people working there Made us feeling special and treated. Especially Mr WILBERTH SONCCO(corazon) was delighting us with his kindness and professionalism offering high standard of customer care even when our requests were toro much. Definitely we wish to come back very soon in this enchanting and charming hotel and to The lovely city of CUsco

My wife got sick and we had to extend our stay in Cusco one extra day. We had stayed at the Marriott to start with but they were less than helpful in finding a room for the extra night. From the moment we entered the Monasterio things started looking up. They helped me change my flight home and within 15 minutes of checking in, all the staff were calling me by name. The common areas and restaurants are perfection and I was made to feel like a king during my stay. I only wished I had chosen this hotel in the first place. It is a little pricey but totally worth it.

The room we stayed in was beautiful and really big with a view of the roofs and streets of Cusco. The buffet breakfast here is absolutely delicious with so much variety make sure you try all of their homemade pastries. Also try and make time to have a pisco punch ( one of my favourite cocktails) in the courtyard.

This is one of the most authentic and beautiful hotels I have had the pleasure of staying in. The property has been kept completely in keeping with the original Monastery, all the public areas are beautiful, including the courtyards, where you can sit by the fire in the evening to enjoy a drink (but be warned it does get very cold at night). The church is just incredible so make sure you visit it. We were upgraded to a beautiful room with a tiny balcony overlooking the courtyard which was delightful, the staff were exemplary throughout but in particular I would like to recognise Jose who was part of the concierge team and looked after us wonderfully throughout our stay. The Opera evening is a wonderful way to spend an evening although perhaps my only criticism is that the food was quit expensive, I think we spent c$180 on 2 courses each and a glass of wine, which bearing in mind Peru is a country renowned for it's incredible food and we didn't have a bad meal anywhere seemed a little much even given the beautiful setting. We stayed for 2 nights before a night in Aquas Calientes, we then came back to Cusco but unfortunately the hotel was fully booked or we would have stayed on our return. Instead we ended up with 2 nights at the JW Marriott, which paled in comparison making the fact it was c£100 per night more expensive than the Belmond grate a little!

Sounds like a cliche for the title but it is true. Arrived here after a trip to the Galapagos Islands. The grounds are so quiet and the staff and rooms are brilliant! The food is very good (for both vegetarians and others). Service is great. At breakfast there was a classical guitarist playing my favourite Concierto de Aranjuez by Rodrigo. Brilliant. The hotel is near to the town and the sights/sites. Well worth a visit.
