La Casona | Cusco | Peru

Once a Conquistador’s mansion, Cusco’s first luxury boutique hotel, is a charming, recently restored 16th century Manor House in the centre of town.  Inkaterra's latest edition offers excellent eco-credentials, stylish interiors and a fab location.  What's not to love?

Perfect for… those who love their boutique hotels with bundles of character, history and charm.

Where… on the Plaza Las Nazarenas in Cusco, surrounded by stunning Andean sceneries.

And the rooms… eleven elegantly designed suites surround a grand central courtyard.  The rooms are decorated with baroque colonial furniture and tapestries, antique frescos with open fireplaces.  They also include all the mod cons such as wireless Internet, heated floors and ipod speakers. 

Food & facilities… hearty Peruvian dishes are served alongside the open fireplaces and there is a small urban spa to soothe weary limbs.

Activities… roam the cobbled streets and marvel at the colonial monuments; visit the Pre-Columbian Art Museum next door and the impressive Cusco Cathedral. 

In the know… check out the Fallen Angel, a quirky steak restaurant next door to La Casona.  Just don’t be too surprised if you end up dining on a ‘bath’ table, full of fish!
