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
Excellent Stay in Cusco
We had a split stay at the Monasterio in Cusco. We stayed 2 nights prior to our hike of the Inca Trail and one night upon our return. The hotel property itself is beautiful and in a wonderful location. The rooms were very clean and well appointed. We stayed in two different rooms and both were very unique and lovely. The breakfast was delicious and they were able to accommodate our extremely early departure for our hike with takeaway breakfast. They stored our luggage during our hike and it was in our new room when we returned. Would highly recommend this hotel.

Outstanding stay in Cusco!
From the early welcome after an overnight flight… to the incredible daily breakfast spread… to live music in the courtyard… to afternoon tea… this hotel is extraordinary and will not disappoint!

Wonderful stay
Great hotel, centrally located. Historical building with modern conveniences. Oxygen pumped into the room helps with altitude sickness.

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.
