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.

Wonderful, wonderful experience. The service especially from Russell, Freddie and Joseph was amazing !! They kept the restaurant open for us - helped my disabled wife and even made chilli sauce for us on our take with fresh chillies !

Russell, Joseph, Freddie provided amazingly hospitable service! My mum is in a wheelchair and they went out of their way to provide excellent service - making it as accessible as possible. When we asked for spicy food, they did an amazing demonstration of how to make their in-house chilli sauce, which was delicious!! Also they kept their restaurant open slightly longer to accommodate for us and the food (fish burger) was unbelievable!!

We had lunch at Tampu after visiting Machu Picchu and it was amazing! The food was delicious. The service was amazing. Russell gave us an education on the local fish and chocolate with lots of extra tastings. Amazing experience!

John Joseph and Freddie at The Belmond Sanctuary Lodge bar and restaurant are incredible. Such perfect hosts and they make the best cocktails. People like this are joyous and make life special. Professional, friendly and so kind. We’ll be back.

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.

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.
