Hotel Monasterio

High in the Andes, more than 3000 metres above sea level, lies the historic city of Cuzco, with its unique blend of Spanish and Inca cultures. At the heart of Cuzco is the 16th-century Hotel Monasterio, originally built as a monastery in 1592. Hotel Monasterio is the ideal base from which to discover Cuzco and the ancient ruins at Machu Picchu, which can be reached via a spectacular three-hour train journey.

Hotel Monasterio has 126 rooms including 16 Superior Rooms, 90 Deluxe Rooms, 14 Junior Suites, a Deluxe Suite, three Presidential Suites and two Royal Suites. The decoration and furnishings combine the best of modern and traditional Spanish colonial style, many of them with charming views of the city or the colorful rooftops of Cuzco. You can feel the presence of the past even if you are pampered with every luxury and modern comfort.

Hotel Monasterio offers the perfect setting for the ultimate dining experience. The Illariy, adjacent to the Main Square/Courtyard, is decorated with paintings from the ancient Cuzco seminary and is the ideal place to enjoy a light meal or snack and a superb dinner. El Tupay is the location for the well known Buffet Breakfast - set in an architecturally significant location, the original refectory of the ancient monastery, with typical dances of the surrounding towns and a warm and friendly service.

Hotel Monasterio is part of Orient-Express Hotels, Trains & Cruises and Virtuoso
