>>> Back to Peru travel guide.
The Monasterio hotel in Cusco is the most famous hotel in town. Oozing in atmosphere, this converted Monastery has for years been an essential stopping point for visitors to Peru.
Located in the heart of Cusco, the Monasterio hotel is 3400 metres above sea level in the Peru's Andes. Just 20 minutes from Cuzco Airport, this is the most famous hotel in Cuzco, and one of the best hotels in all of Peru. The hotel is the perfect base to make a trip to Machu Piccu, the most famous Inca ruins in Peru.
The 16th century monastery with wonderfully unique features serves as a museum hotel. Built in 1592 on old Inca ruins, the Monasterio Hotel has 106 rooms and 18 suites. Furnishings are typically colonial, and most rooms are oxygenated to counteract any altitude sickness that visitors might have.
Overall, the Monasterio is the best place to stay in Cusco. Book this hotel online and save. Just be aware that the standard rooms are quite small - our advice is to book a deluxe room, or even a junior suite.
