,The list below shows our recommended hotels that our travel experts have selected for each destination to make your vacation the best experience featuring superior service, good location, and all facilities necessary for a comfortable stay. JW Marriott Hotel Cusco Cusco The hotel is Located in the historic center of the city, the JW Marriott Cusco combines the needs of luxury travelers with a unique design around the colonial convent of San Agustin, built in the sixteenth century and declared Cultural Heritage of Peru. The hotel has gone through a careful process of restoration where people can see archaeological remains of Pre-Inca, Inca, Colonial, Republican and Contemporary periods. These historical factors give the JW Marriott Cusco a unique character, able to offer its guests a unique cultural experience.   Aranwa Boutique Cusco The new brand “Aranwa Boutique” hotel, opened in October 2010, is operated by Aranwa Hotels Resorts & Spas, one of the most luxurious hotel chains in Peru, known for their careful attention to their clients. Probably the best value luxury accommodation in Cusco, this elegant 5-star hotel is housed in a converted 16th century mansion and is decorated with colonial era furniture, impressive paintings from the Cusco school, and colonial gold-leaf plated carvings and sculptures. This boutique hotel is conveniently located right behind San Francisco square.   Monasterio Cusco Cusco The Monasterio Hotel is one of most famous hotels in Cusco city. The main reason comes to being of the Orient-Express Collection, but the property really distinguished itself when it became the first to offer oxygen-enriched rooms to combat the altitude sickness. Situated just a few blocks of the main plaza, its infrastructure was built in the 16th century as a monastery on Inca foundations. Much of its original architecture remains are intact, paying homage to its original seminarian occupants. In keeping with its intended purpose, its rooms and suites feature a mix of traditional and contemporary furnishings, with a great gallery of religious art gracing the walls.   Palacio del Inka Cusco Cusco The “Palacio Del Inka” hotel, with almost five centuries of history is located in the historic center of Cusco. Just in front to "Qoricancha" (The Sun Temple); it is a 5-minute walk from the main plaza, and close to various museums, markets and restaurants. The hotel includes a spacious courtyard with arched galleries on three sides, a corridor, Doric columns, rosettes of iron in the heavy wooden door and carved reliefs. The main entrance of the mansion also includes a bow with four busts. The palace was renovated for the first time in the nineteenth century, a century later; it opened as an inn where travelers from the Alto Peru stayed.   Casa Cartagena Cusco The Casa Cartagena Boutique Hotel & Spa has emerged after years of restoration respecting its original design to become one of the most exclusive luxury hotels in Cusco city. This luxury hotel in Cusco located in the historic center of the city has been declared by UNESCO as a cultural heritage site. Situated at only 10-minute drive from the airport, it offers the best location to explore the city on foot because of its proximity to the main attractions and points of interest.   Palacio Nazarenas Cusco The Belmond "Palacio Nazarenas" hotel is located in an exclusive area of the downtown of Cusco, affording its guests a prime location from where they may explore the Cusco Cathedral and its most important points of interest. The hotel is the latest acquisition of the Orient-Express chain. It also features the first outdoor pool in the city of Cusco, as well as an exclusive spa offering treatments based on local herbs.
