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
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.

Yes please
Gorgeous hotel built in an over 300 year old monastery, with a very unique courtyard layout. Outstanding service. Great location. All World breakfast layout, thank you Michel. On site pastry chef for the last 20 years making the best croissants we’ve ever eaten. Don’t hesitate to book.

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.

A lovely, not-to-be-missed hotel
What a luxurious stay we had at the magnificent Monasterio hotel in Cusco. It was oasis of comfort amidst the chaos of travel. Roger the concierge attended to our every need — guiding us to superb restaurants and shopping as well as ensuring our accommodations were available regardless of our odd travel schedule. After a strenuous week traveling the countryside and hiking, Monasterio was the perfect reward.

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.
