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
Amazing hotel
Everything at the Monasterio was beyond our expectation. The facility is historically impressive and interesting in itself. Before you walk in the door, you are greeted warmly. We were on a National Geograpfgic tour, but were singled out as though we were by ourselves, then escorted to our room. Our luggage magically appeared. The person who took us to the room explained e eruthi g about our room and made sure we knew important information, The food was excellent, the amenities were plentiful, and the terrace attached to our room was private and lovely. We had breakfast on the terrace each day. Marco, our room service server was helpful, friendly and kind. The location could not be better. We loved staying here.

Great hotel!
Amazing hotel, really fantastic location, great rooms, warm courtyards... the place is really huge! Fantastic breakfast... rooms are well equipped with pillows, amenities and kitchen gadgets... nepresso capsules, fantastic tea... Only downside is the fact that Place like this should have nice spa center. I can understand that swimming pool is tough to place here, but spa center would take couple of rooms out of equation, but it would give more style to this amazing hotel.

Fabulous stay in the heart of Cusco!
The team was absolutely wonderful and the location is unparalleled. Truly loved every minute of my stay - the breakfast is fabulous, they do a lovely evening art history tour of the property and I felt so welcome by all members of the staff. Thank you!

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.

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.
