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
This hotel makes a statement
In Cusco you’ll find two splendid belmond properties - so we just had to check in at Belmond Hotel Monasterio . An actual Monastery from 1592 . It’s an oasis in the heart of Cusco - and a must visit, even if only to enjoy a drink at the 300 year old Cedar Tree in the courtyard. I was in awe walking the corridors. Truly a masterpiece. We had such a phenominal evening at tge one restaurant - where an Opera was arranged to make our stay memorable . I have never… and in complete disbelief at the lengths that Belmond Hotel Monasterio went to make our night unique and incredibly special. Forever greatful and spoiled. A once in a lifetime experience! The hotel grounds however, steal the show!

Beautiful hotel with excellent service and delicious food
Title says it all. The hotel is beautiful with multiple serene courtyards. Service is absolutely stellar in every department. We took full advantage of our concierge, Bryan, who saved us a ton of time booking reservations, arranging a doctor to come when a guest fell ill, and handling our transportation arrangements. The food was also excellent, we ate at Oqre for dinner three times and each time was perfect.

5 Star Hotel Deserves Its Stars
All service and food was excellent. Historical structure was very interesting and well maintained. Rooms were comfortable size and well-appointed with anything one could need. The reason "value" was only 4 star was because the price was high.

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.
