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
What a meal!
What an experience! We did not expect such an incredible meal following our Machu Picchu trip. It included local foods and drinks, excellent and enthusiastic service, and truly a fine dining experience. The only thing I could possibly look more forward to now is the nap on the bus.

Relax and curb your hunger at TINKUY
After visiting the majestic Machu Picchu site and hiking all the steps around the archaeological site we were so exhausted and our agency had made a lunch reservation for us at the Tinkuy restaurant at the Sanctuary Lodge. They had an amazing buffet with a great Peruvian selection. The service was great and Russell took care of us making sure we were all hydrated after our hike. This is an excellent stop to curb your hunger and get energy before going back down to Machu Picchu Pueblo to catch the train back to Cusco.

Tranquil Sanctuary Lodge
Sanctuary Lodge is beautiful and tranquil. It is steps away from the entrance to Machu Picchu and saves the long bus queue and ride. The Terrace is stunning, with views of the surrounding mountain area. The natural spring water runs down through the lovely orchid garden landscape, creating a very zen environment. Breakfast is incredible with local fruits and fresh-squeezed juices, along with an excellent choice of breakfast items. Highly suggest the Eggs Benedict as the fresh-baked “English” muffin just melts in your mouth. Breham, our server, went above and beyond to make our experience unforgettable. Highly recommend.

Magical
Breham, our waiter, was so kind and helpful. He even gave us a quick tour while we waited. The food was incredible, the location is iconic, and the atmosphere was tranquil. Everything and more than you would expect from a place like this.

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.
