Belmond Hotel Monasterio

Ok where to start. As soon as your greeted at the doors and walk in the magic begins. You see a beautiful courtyard and you walk back in time and can see all the elegance. Your greeted with pure warmth and your given a little history tour of the incredible hotel your about to enjoy. Even the way you’re given your key makes the experience special. Before I continue my review we had the honor and pleasure of meeting Edson who took incredible care of my wife and I and gave us an experience that we will cherish forever. He recommended varios restaurants and made our reservations. He also sent to our room various treats. He is the definition of hospitality. So if you stay at this hotel ask for him and I’m sure he will make your stay better than imagined. This hotels attention to detail is impeccable the art,furniture and construction just immerses you back in time. The location is perfect and even though there’s a big city outside the walls while inside the property it’s pure peace. The breakfast and restaurants on property are great and the service all around the hotel is unbelievable. This has to be one or if not the best hotel stay I’ve ever had. Oh and before I forget you have to visit the chapel on property it is amazing.

Our stay at the Monasterio was absolutely perfect. The art and architecture of the building are beautiful and the staff are the perfect combination of professional and friendly. Perfect location for exploring Cusco. I really can’t recommend this highly enough.

The entire stay felt special. From the ringing of the bell to announce our arrival to the upgraded suite on our final evening after returning from our excursion to Machu Picchu, we enjoyed the thoughtful touches and excellent service.

Stopped by for a few cocktails at the hotel's main bar and enjoyed very good drinks in addition to excellent service from Joe, a very friendly and professional bartender who made our experience even better. Highly recommended stop.

Walking through the doors of Monasterio, we were completely speechless. The moment you enter this stunning 16th-century monastery, you realize you’re not just checking into a hotel — you’re stepping into a living, breathing work of art. We genuinely couldn’t believe we were lucky enough to call this place home, even for just a couple of nights. We truly felt like we were stepping back in time. The architecture alone is worth the visit. The lobby’s massive stone arches and grand fireplace set the tone immediately, and the beauty only deepens as you explore. A gorgeous chapel sits right off the courtyard, and dinner in the arched corridor restaurant — overlooking a courtyard that houses Cusco’s last remaining cedar tree, more than 300 years old — is an experience we’ll never forget. Every corner you turn reveals something extraordinary. Our room was equally impressive, with soaring ceilings, museum-worthy artwork, and a charming loft that made it feel both grand and cozy. And do yourself a favor: order room service at least one night. We felt completely spoiled. What truly elevated our stay, though, was the Belmond-caliber service. When we reported a small issue with our room, four staff members responded immediately, confirmed the concern, moved us to a new room on the spot, and even upgraded us in the process. That kind of responsiveness is rare anywhere. Special thanks to both Bryans (we believe they were the managers on duty) — their personal attention and genuine care made all the difference. To the entire staff of Monasterio: thank you for giving us the trip of a lifetime. You exceeded every expectation and left us with memories we’ll treasure forever.
