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
Monasterio a Memory Forever
We absolutely loved this hotel. This trip is my 70th birthday celebration and the suite up-grade to celebrate this was very much appreciated. Having our own little courtyard was so wonderful. I loved breakfast and listening to the Gregorian Chants was so beautiful to listen to whilst eating breakfast. Our dinner at El Tupay was a gastronomic experience and truly exceptional! Soncco served us at dinner and on many occasions at breakfast. He couldn't do enough to make our stay special. I would also like to commend Edson Yapura, Guest Relations for checking on us on numerous occasions to ensure that we were happy and he helped enormously when I struggled to get a refund for a faulty item at a boutique a short distance away from the hotel.

Stunning Historic Property
The Montasterio is a stunning historic property with beautiful gardens in the courtyard. The hotel is centrally located to many of the the Cusco attractions. The rooms are clean and well appointed. The food was amazing! The best part of the hotel was the amazing hospitality. They went above and beyond to provide an amazing experience. We especially thankful for the extra care we received when we returned to hotel earlier than expected when my husband got altitude sickness when hiking. We had an amazing stay!

June visit
We stayed at this hotel as part of our private tour on our way to Machu Picchu. It was breathtaking to see the internal courtyard which was immaculate. I wish we could have stayed here longer. The hotel is minutes away from the centre of a small town.

Simply the best hotel in the world
If you want to experience what amazing customer service looks like, then stay at the Belmond Monasterio in Cusco. The hotel is beautiful but what makes this hotel so special is the amazing staff. Everyone treats you like you are a close family member and Edson must be the best Guest Relations and Concierge Supervisor the world has ever seen.

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.
