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
Memorable lunch at the Sanctury Lodge
We had a delicious lunch and Russell and Elias looked after us very well. Watching the humming birds while we enjoyed our meal was very special too.

Lovely room, excellent service
We had a lovely two night stay here in a room with a patio, full board. Each night cost a tad over USD2000. Worth it? Overall, a big yes - with some very small qualifications. Big pluses: the service is excellent (ignore other reviewers who say or even suggest otherwise) at every level. The rooms are very comfortable and quiet. Food at the restaurant is very good (breakfast perhaps could offer more variety and better fruit?) with all fish dishes a highlight. If you're booked to see MP at e.g. 08.00, you're on the doorstep - great. If you think you're going to see MP from the property - you're wrong but they absolutely don't claim that you can - but hey, you're 20 metres from the entrance and the views of the wonderful surrounding geography are to die for, the gardens are gorgeous too. Are the rooms large? No, roughly 15m squared, small bathroom and shower. Are they comfortable and well-fitted? You bet they are, with a very comfortable bed and excellent amenities. (Ours was a patio room, there are other rooms that overlook the MP entrance and bus park that might nor be so quiet??) The hotel seems still to be under threat of closure after the lease ran out in May this year, so watch this space - but hopefully it will go on and if it does and we go back to MP, this is absolutely where we'll stay.

good weekend
Our stay at Sanctuary Lodge was incredible. From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel right at home. Special thanks to Nelson for his warm and professional customer service, to Joel for his kind help with our luggage and ensuring everything was perfect until we were dropped off at the train station, and to Russell from the restaurant for his exceptional service. Each of them made our experience special.

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.
