Belmond Hotel Monasterio’s transformation from 16th-century monastery to luxury hotel perfectly suits Cusco, where picturesque ruins are matched by a fascinating history and ample opportunity for adventure.
A stay at Belmond Hotel Monasterio in Peru transports visitors back to the crux of Incan and Spanish civilization. Housed in a beautiful former monastery constructed in 1592, Hotel Monasterio’s rich history adds depth and excitement to the luxury hotel experience.
Located in Cusco, high up in the Andes, Belmond Hotel Monasterio’s unique oxygen-enriched rooms make sure you stay clearheaded. And you’ll need your energy to explore this beautiful locale: Incan ruins make city tours of Cusco a must, while the three-and-a-half hour trek to hike up Machu Picchu is at the top of the list of must-see Peruvian landmarks. Back the hotel, the on-site chapel filled with gold ornamentation is a secret marvel.
Relax in your spacious room with quirky architectural details from the hotel’s monastic past, and soak up your view of Cusco’s colorful rooftops. At night, indulge in a little local flavor at Illariy Restaurant, serving Peruvian classics like mouth-watering ceviche and yucca.
