Monasterio | Cuzco | Peru

Consistently named Condé Nast Traveler’s best hotel in South America, the Monasterio likes to think of itself as a ‘museum hotel’. An architectural treasure built on Inca foundations, Monasterio combines a colonial monastery with the luxury, elegance and comfort of a modern five-star hotel.

Perfect for... everyone

Where... Cuzco, minutes walk away from the main square.

And the rooms... Hotel Monasterio has 126 rooms that radiate Spanish colonial charm, including three Presidential Suites and two Royal Suites.  Ask for oxygenated rooms if you have any problems with altitude.

Food & facilities... fantastic restaurants at the hotel as well as numerous options in Cuzco itself.

Activities... apart from the beautiful Inca stone work in Cuzco, the surrounding local ruins and the stunning main square there are also a wide range of activities in the area including mountain biking, whitewater rafting, fishing and horse riding.

In the know... try out the bath butler at the Monasterio after a hard day out and allow extra time for shopping in Cuzco for the soft alpaca scarves, pashminas and sophisticated silver jewellery.
