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.

Our stay at the Sanctuary at Machu Picchu was absolutely extraordinary. From the moment we arrived, everything felt effortless, thoughtful, and special. The setting alone is breathtaking, but the warmth of the staff, the comfort of the accommodations, and the attention to detail elevated the experience to something truly unforgettable. We felt completely taken care of while still immersed in the magic of Machu Picchu. Quite honestly, nothing could have made this stay better—it was perfect in every way. We would return in a heartbeat (and probably try to never leave).

If you want to near Machu Picchu, this is the hotel you want to stay to complete the experience. We stayed only one night. However, the experience we have received was beyond our expectations. We have travelled across 7 continents, 5 oceans. I have to say that this is the best hotel we have ever stayed. Highly recommended!!!

The Sanctuary Lodge would be one of top places I have stayed in my entire life. The location is just incredible - right at the entrance of the citadel. If you are traveling with children or elderly parents, do not even think twice and stay at the Lodge. After a long day at the citadel or climbing the mountains, I was glad that the Sanctuary was right there and I could spoil myself with a nice pisco sour and an amazing meal at the end of the day. The hotel is extremely comfortable with all modern amenities surrounded by spectacular scenery. The terrace is such a cool spot to just hang out with a drink or coffee and take in the scenery of the breathtaking mountains. The place will cost you a pretty penny, but worth at least five times more. You must stay there at least once in your life.

We were on a tour of Moncha Pinchu, stopped in the restaurant for food and drinks. Jeus and his colleagues were very nice, polite and the service was great. The food was good as well and I would recommend this restaurant.

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.
