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.

Great trip to Peru with Belmond Hotels and journeys of Peru
Very happy with my experience, will highly recommend it. two days in Lima, 2 in the Sacred Valley, 2 in Machu Picchu and 3 in Cusco (with one visiting the rainbow mountains) was the perfect amount of days

Fabulous experience in a magnificent hotel
The hotel staff were all extremely friendly, kind, helpful and thoughtful. The room facilities and quality were to an exceptionally high standard, and very comfortable. The hotel is a magnificent renovation of the original monastery with wonderful courtyards and an impressive artwork collection. We appreciated also being able to visit the adjacent sister hotel Palacio Nazarenus and use the heated outdoor pool. The food for breakfast and dinner in the Oqre restaurant was fantastic and the staff were wonderful. The hotel is located in the middle of the main historical attractions and immediately adjacent to the lovely San Blas area. We went on 3 very well organised private excursions and the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and made the visits very enjoyable. Our day trip to Machu Picchu on the Hiram Bingham train was absolutely fabulous.

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.
