About the Hotel
Machu Picchu is truly a must-see, must-experience destination. Steeped in history and located high in the Peruvian Andes, there is only one hotel located within walking distance of the ancient Inca citadel - Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge by Orient-Express. With just 29 rooms and a pair of suites, and the most spectacular mountain views, the lodge offers accommodations that feature classic appointments and modern amenities alike - from mini bars and cable television, to direct telephone access and bottled water. As wonderful as Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge is, it plays only a supporting role in its stunning surroundings. One of the world's most breathtaking sites, Machu Picchu is a sacred and magical place.

Reviews for Belmond Sanctuary Lodge
Superb location and excellent service
The location is right at the entrance to Machu Picchu - couldn't be better. The staff went above and beyond to make our stay pleasurable. I would like to single out Wilson who served our dinner and explained everything so clearly. He also demonstrated how to make a delicious Peruvian chili pepper sauce, which I will try when I get home.

Great last stop in Cusco
Food, drinks and service, such an experience. Russel and Herbert were very attentive and even made the spicy sauce table side after we mention we like spicy. There are hummingbird showing up occasionally by the windows, the whole place is beautiful. Highly recommended

Diego the server and experience
The best service I’ve ever had including the US, Columbia, Peru, etc. Diego was amazing, remembered our names and took care of us the entire time. The items were amazing and so were the drinks (for us the juices). On top of that the desert was light and amazing. Diego is a great server I recommend him!! Only thing I’d say is menu is slightly small but the flavor packs a punch and I think helps them keep quality control good or something like that. View was amazing as well.

Tampu at Sanctuary Lodge
Amazing service by Jesus and the rest of the Sanctuary Lodge Tampu restaurant crew. Amazing food and peaceful environment. Highly recommended.

Incredible service
Every staff member was kind and helpful; special shout out to Beran and Araceli in the dining room-- they made the delicious food even better with their service! After spending hours ascending Machu Picchu, it's such a treat to walk into the calm Sanctuary Lodge and be offered a cool hand towel to freshen up right away. The room with a patio was a lovely way to relax after a strenuous climb. The grounds were beautiful as well.

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.

Our travels have taken us to several Orient-Express properties. The Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge is exclusively situated at one of the most 'magical and mysterious' sites in the Americas, and guarantees the visitor never-to-be forgotten experiences.
