If you're looking for an atmospheric and historic stay in the heart of Cusco, the Belmond Hotel Monasterio truly delivers. Just steps from the central Plaza de Armas, the hotel has carefully preserved architecture, with stone cloisters and a richly decorated chapel giving it a museum like quality. You won't feel stuffy or out of place here though - the hotel has been designed to feel elegant, homely and warm, with modern touches, Peruvian textiles and wooden furniture.

Many highlights come from the strong attention to detail - oxygen-enriched rooms to ease the effects of altitude, live classical music in the evenings and cultural touches throughout the hotel. This isn't just a place to stay, it's a chance to experience the heritage, art and history of Cusco in a way that is both authentic and luxurious.

Why we love it here

  • Spectacular 16th Century monastery with colonial architecture
  • Oxygen-enriched rooms to help adjust to Cusco's high altitude 
  • Refined dining showcasing local Peruvian ingredients and flavours 
  • Peaceful courtyard centred around a 300-year-old cedar 

Best time to visit

Between May and September is the dry season in Cusco, with sunny days and minimal rainfall, making it the perfect time to enjoy exploring the city. The blue skies and bright sunshine enhance the beauty of Cusco's architecture, so make sure you bring your camera! From November to March, the rainy season arrives and showers and cloudier conditions mean the city is quieter and lush, which can often result in rewarding experiences to enjoy withou the crowds.
