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
Stay in a place rich with history and surrounded by artwork!
If you appreciate art, architecture, history, beautiful manicured grounds and delicious food then this is THE place for you! Team members are attentive, polished and cannot do enough for you. The lobby bar is awe inspiring between the stone work, grand fireplace and art! Visit the chapel as it is visually magnificent! The hotel is centrally located in Cusco and you can walk everywhere. The room we had poor ventilation even when we had the AC cranked up there was no air movement and nothing coming out from the vents. We had to open the windows for a bit to reduce the stuffiness in the room and get some air circulating thus the poor "sleep quality". Other than that the rooms are clean and large, ours had a small sitting area in addition to the large bedroom and bath. Breakfast buffet is extensive, lavish and yummy and you can order a few select items from the menu as well - something for everyone! This hotel is a gem and should not be missed!

This is a superb hotel, tastefully furnished rooms and public areas, well-decorated and maintained. The bedroom was quiet and comfortable. The staff showed care for all our needs. Centrally located. Great value for money.

Amazing venue! Would stay there again.
The hotel is amazing in terms of venue and overall experience. Staff is friendly and accommodating. The only issue what that the temperature both in the rooms and the common areas was not always as warm and we wanted it to be. Overall I believe is one great option to stay in Cusco

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.
