HOTEL MONASTERIO
This historic, former monastery is an oasis of peace at the centre of the city
Cuzco, Peru
Relax in a hidden courtyard, sip a pisco sour beneath arched colonnades: Hotel Monasterio is a tranquil hideaway at the heart of bustling Cuzco, among all the top cultural attractions, markets, lively restaurants and cafes. This former monastery, built on old Inca walls, is rich with charm and history. Local antiques and 16th-century paintings decorate magnificent interiors that include a gilded baroque chapel available for weddings and special events. Yet settle into your room and the 21st century kicks in: each room is oxygen enriched to combat the effects of high altitude.
