Belmond Hotel Monasterio

Hotel housed by an ancient monastery in the historic center

Belmond Hotel Monasterio is housed in a construction dating back to the 16th century, in Cusco. The monastery has a style that blends Spanish and Inca cultures, a central courtyard decorated with gardens, and a chapel designed in Baroque-Indigenous style decorated with paintings following the Cusco School artist guidelines. The hotel has a restaurant with French cuisine that offers bohemian nights and two bars to enjoy the afternoon tea and appetizers in front of the fireplace. Cooking lessons and art tours are also available within the facilities. The hotel offers conference facilities, a wedding coordinator, and Spa services. The 122 guest rooms and suites were designed in Colonial traditional style and decorated with samples of religious art that mix classic and modern features. To mitigate the symptoms caused by the elevation of the city, there are guest rooms with 24-hour oxygen supply. The property is 100 meters (328 ft) from the Museum of Religious Art and less than 500 meters (1,640 ft) from major tourist attractions of the city, such as the main square, the cathedral, and the temples of the Holy Family and The Triumph. Teniente Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport (CUZ) is 5 kilometers (3.1 mi) away.
