About the Hotel

Voted the Best Hotel in South America by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler, Belmond Hotel Monasterio deserves every accolade that comes its way. Built in the 16th century as a monastery on Inca foundations, this cloistered compound is located amid the historic splendor of Cusco, Peru. Most notably, the hotel serves as an ideal base for exploring the mystical ruins of Machu Picchu. Much of the original architecture of Belmond Hotel Monasterio remains intact, paying homage to its original seminarian occupants. In keeping with its intended purpose, the rooms and suites feature a mix of traditional and contemporary furnishings, with a gallery of religious art gracing the walls. Because of the high elevation, 11,000 feet above sea level, many of the rooms are equipped with an oxygen supplementation system for your added comfort.

Beautiful Hotel with amazing sense of place

We loved Monasterio in Cusco. It was so authentic and beautifully done and while it is an old monastery, it still felt very modern. The art work and gardens are spectacular.

Beautiful building in the heart of Cusco. Once you step through the huge old doors, you have no idea there is a city outside. You feel like you are staying in an old museum. High ceilings, old artwork, even a chapel. The courtyards are great for having a cup of tea or a drink. The bar is great for a drink or a meal. The food was excellent. I was wandering around and heard some music. When I walked into one of the restaurants, there was an opera singer performing for the diners. Staff did a great job. Rooms were very comfortable.

The best hotel in Cusco by far. Expensive but life is short, it’s worth it.

Visiting Cusco from Los Angeles and honestly, we were both really impressed with the hotel and the staff. I only stay at five star hotels and travel often so I am a frequent flyer. I have stayed at many places all over the world and have been disappointed in the past, but Monasterio exceeded all expectations and it was truly a magnificent stay. It was founded in 1632 and is still inuse today, but now as a luxury hotel. It has 121 rooms and is located in the perfect location in the historic center of Cusco. It’s two blocks from Plaza de Armas, and pretty much everything else you will want to do while in Cusco. Next door is the Palacio hotel, which is the second best in town, but if you are traveling with someone special, it’s your birthday, as it is for mine this trip, an anniversary, or any special occasion you will want to stay at Monasterio. As soon as we checked in they upgraded our room to a large suite and the room was extremely nice, very large, modern and recently updated. It pretty much had all the amenities that we were looking for, and the breakfast included buffet is truly delicious. It is filled with all sorts of local Peruvian food as well as some international options as well. We also ate at OQRE and had a wonderful dinner. It’s a very elegant restaurant and in the same location where the breakfast buffet is. I want to shout out Leonardo who works in the front and was extremely helpful and polite to us during our entire stay. He arranged the car to pick us up after our stay and was someone we looked forward to seeing and talking to each time we entered and exited the hotel. Honestly, the best hotel in Cusco and even though it is expensive, it is worth it. I definitely would stay here and only here next time I visit Cusco.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional service

Sitting in the bar area waiting for our ride to the airport after 3 wonderful nights at this special hotel. We came here from 6 days in Sacred Valley and opted to eat at the bar the first night. The service was friendly, warm and wonderful. And the dinner was very good. I had been emailing with Roger with help for restaurant reservations before we arrived. Roger continued to be such a big help once here as was Julio - both at the concierge desk. They both gave us perfect suggestions as to how to spend our days. They greeted us each day with big smiles and always by name. The same can be said of Edison at reception. He went all out to make our stay enjoyable including sending special treats to our room on the last night. The hotel is beautiful with unique and very comfortable rooms that are constantly stocked with water bottles and chocolates. Buffet breakfast buffet was plentiful and beautiful with the opportunity to order off the menu, Santiago, the barista, makes wonderful coffee and is a real aficionado - so kind and informative as well. I can’t say enough regarding how comfortable and pleasant our stay was - and how the staff goes above and beyond to make you feel special. Would not choose to stay anywhere else in Cusco and will definitely stay at a Belmond hotel in the future. More

Hotel Monasterio in Cusco is truly world-class. Cusco is about 11,000 feet in altitude, but they offer oxygen supplement in rooms. Everything is superb. The manager invited us to a special cocktail party on one night, very gracious.

My daughter and I enjoyed our trip to Peru immensely. We stayed at the Hotel Monasterio in Cusco and found it to be superb. We had a magnificent suite, the staff was perfect and the chef sent us a wonderful surprise birthday cake to our room.

We visited Peru and the entire trip was spectacular. Orient-Express hotels provided exceptional service and world-class accommodations. We stayed at the Miraflores Park Hotel, Hotel Monasterio, and Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge. All three hotels had beautiful rooms, outstanding restaurants, and a helpful friendly English-speaking staff. From now on, Orient-Express will be at the top of my list for worldwide travel.

We traveled to Peru and enjoyed stays at Miraflores Hotel in Lima, Hotel Monasterio in Cusco, and Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge. I am highly satisfied and recommend these hotels without reservation.
