About the Hotel
Voted the Best Hotel in South America by the readers of Condé Nast Traveler, Belmond Hotel Monasterio deserves every accolade that comes its way. Built in the 16th century as a monastery on Inca foundations, this cloistered compound is located amid the historic splendor of Cusco, Peru. Most notably, the hotel serves as an ideal base for exploring the mystical ruins of Machu Picchu. Much of the original architecture of Belmond Hotel Monasterio remains intact, paying homage to its original seminarian occupants. In keeping with its intended purpose, the rooms and suites feature a mix of traditional and contemporary furnishings, with a gallery of religious art gracing the walls. Because of the high elevation, 11,000 feet above sea level, many of the rooms are equipped with an oxygen supplementation system for your added comfort.

Reviews for Belmond Hotel Monasterio
Great experience for couples or families.
Beautiful hotel in a restored historic monastery in the center of historic Cusco. Staff were fantastic. The higher spec rooms were terrific but some of the others were small so please chose carefully.

Super Hotel
The hotel is located right in Cusco. You can take a quick walk and be right in the center of the city. The rooms are very unique but spacious. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The breakfast bus a sight to see with a lot of options.

Fantastic Hotel
This is a gorgeous property in an ideal location for enjoying and exploring the main, historic areas of Cusco. Both restaurants were amazing. The more formal one had amazing live opera music while the more casual one had such incredible service that our waitress knew our coffee preferences by the very first day. The hotel offers many little touches such as a lovely art tour, a traditional Andes weaver, an a coffee specialist. I would highly recommend this property for any guest looking to enjoy Cusco.

Best Hotel EVER!
We have stayed at many fine hotels around the world. This one is probably one of the best. The beauty and the calmness is exceptional.

Nice hotel but service is just OK - not great.
It’s a very nice looking hotel but the service is so much better at Belmond Nazarenes - their sister property next door. The deli in the hotel, however, is excellent and service is excellent. I’d choose Belmond nazarenas or Palacio del Inka for rooms and service.

Hotel Monasterio in Cusco is truly world-class. Cusco is about 11,000 feet in altitude, but they offer oxygen supplement in rooms. Everything is superb. The manager invited us to a special cocktail party on one night, very gracious.

My daughter and I enjoyed our trip to Peru immensely. We stayed at the Hotel Monasterio in Cusco and found it to be superb. We had a magnificent suite, the staff was perfect and the chef sent us a wonderful surprise birthday cake to our room.

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.
