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.

Reviews for Belmond Hotel Monasterio
Oasis in the Middle of Cusco
This was part of a larger trip with National Geographic/Lindblad Expeditions and we were here for two nights toward the end of the trip. This was a beautiful property and we had a fairly large room with a small balcony (but no view). There were two lovely interior courtyards where you could sit and have drinks and breakfast that seemed an oasis in the city. The property was convenient to walking in Cusco town with markets and restaraunts all around. The two on property restaraunts were also excellent.

Beautiful hotel with exceptional service
We stayed 3 nights here . We were welcomed in a very personal way. The hotel is set in an old monastery and it has been restored to perfection keeping the buildings original features but combining it with all the modern features expected of a 5 star hotel. The room is beautiful, large plenty of space for luggage etc… A very decent size safe . The amenities are great and luxury bathrobes and bedding. There’s a good coffee machine and a separate kettle . A lovely fruit bowl and handmade chocolates awaited us. The attention to detail is what makes this place pure luxury and stand out. The food at breakfast and evening were very good . The staff were very friendly and helpful. You really feel looked after here . I really cannot find any negatives. It’s perfectly situated in the centre of Cusco .

Great trip to Peru with Belmond Hotels and journeys of Peru
Very happy with my experience, will highly recommend it. two days in Lima, 2 in the Sacred Valley, 2 in Machu Picchu and 3 in Cusco (with one visiting the rainbow mountains) was the perfect amount of days

Fabulous experience in a magnificent hotel
The hotel staff were all extremely friendly, kind, helpful and thoughtful. The room facilities and quality were to an exceptionally high standard, and very comfortable. The hotel is a magnificent renovation of the original monastery with wonderful courtyards and an impressive artwork collection. We appreciated also being able to visit the adjacent sister hotel Palacio Nazarenus and use the heated outdoor pool. The food for breakfast and dinner in the Oqre restaurant was fantastic and the staff were wonderful. The hotel is located in the middle of the main historical attractions and immediately adjacent to the lovely San Blas area. We went on 3 very well organised private excursions and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and made the visits very enjoyable. Our day trip to Machu Picchu on the Hiram Bingham train was absolutely fabulous.

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.
