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.

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.

It is the only way to go. We were recommended from another traveler to stay there and they were absolutely right The staff makes every aspect of your stay, a beautiful experience if you can afford it, get a room with a Terrace and have breakfast on your decklooking at the Cloud forest in the mountains.

The stay at Sanctuary Lodge was a unique and unforgettable experience. We felt truly cherished, and the stay exceeded all our expectations. The hotel’s commitment to pampering its guests was evident. I would especially like to highlight the cordiality, kindness, and exceptional attention of Antony Rams Atayupanqui, an outstanding, top-tier professional.

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.
