Palacio del Inka, a Luxury Collection Hotel, Cusco

What an amazing historic hotel! 5/5 stars!! Make sure to take the hotel tour with Daniel - the information was awesome and the musical presentation was extraordinary! After the tour, go visit Rodrigo in the Rumí bar for a terrific explanation of the history of and how to make a Pisco Sour and then taste one!! These experiences made our stay extra special!!

Great hotel. Concierge greeted us by name the moment we stepped out of the cab. Porter Wellington pointed us various facilities as he showed us to our room. Bartender Miguel was professional as he guided us through the Peruvian cocktail workshop. Love the luxury in the hotel. Staying at a previous museum was special. Highly recommended.

I stayed here for two nights, from July 2-4, on the tail end of a group tour of Macchu Picchu. Our group had reservations at a hotel quite literally around the corner, but I wanted to stay here because the photos made it look so spectacular and it did not disappoint. The hotel truly is a "palace," and lives up to that descriptor not only due to its historical significance (it was a colonial palace during the Viceroyalty), but also because the grounds are meticulously maintained and kept in spectacular condition. The promotional photos from the website *are accurate*, the hotel *really is* that incredible, and it double as an art museum, showcasing colonial art of "harquebusiers," angels with rifles, a distinct art style that originated in Cusco. I wasn't able to take advantage of it, but I'm told there's a docent on the grounds who offers daily tours in Spanish and English at 5-6pm (I think?). Worth looking in to if that interests you. I stayed in a suite that was beautifully appointed; lots of wonderful wood paneling, a private (small) balcony looking out onto the street, and a massive (beautiful) blue door as an entrance. By the time I'd checked in, it was quite late in the evening (around 10pm local time), but the hotel was still able to take in a week's worth of dirty laundry and turn it around by the following morning. Part of my offer included breakfast on-site, and the restaurant is quite impressive. The spread offered included a wide range of foods for different diets, as well as personalized red-white-and-blue cupcakes to celebrate the American Independence Day holiday, which was a really nice personal touch for their guests. I came back to the restaurant to enjoy a dinner as well, which was spectacular (if a little rich) and it came with a wonderful wine pairing suggestion. I wasn't able to take advantage of the spa or the fitness facilities, but did see people walking around in robes. The central courtyard of the hotel also hosts a few local vendors, who set up shop in the morning with blankets, shawls, scarfs, hats, and other items, along with the most adorable baby alpaca you've ever seen. They will happily let you take photos, but do yourself a favor and pick up a souvenir while you're there--your dollar goes so much farther, the quality of the textiles is so good, and the people are so wonderful. You're about 1.5 blocks away from a Scotiabank ATM (if you need cash), and just a street away from a variety of shops. I had to buy an extra bag to help cart back all of my souvenirs, and the concierge was able to quickly and easily point me in the right direction to find a reasonably-priced bag. I can't say enough good things about this place. This is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience in an incredible location. If you're here, do yourself a favor and stay a few nights, you won't regret it.

Very beautiful hotel where history meets luxury. The experiences available at the hotel are incredible such as the visit of the palacio and the pisco sour classe! Special thanks to the bartender Daniel Yto for his excellent hospitality, so much fun.

Epic hotel, epic staff and excellent breakfast, the staff are awesome but one went above, Goyo, he treats you like family, book a room here, it’s awesome
