A 16th-century former monastery is the spectacular setting for Monasterio, A Belmond hotel, which sits in the historic center of Cusco.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Positioned on quiet Plazoleta Nazarenas, the hotel sits two blocks from the Plaza de Armas and minutes from San Blas.
The rooms
Set in former seminary chambers, unique rooms feature Spanish colonial antiques, gilded art, and supplemental oxygen in select categories.
The spa
Dedicated therapy suites offer Andean-inspired massages and restorative body treatments infused with indigenous botanical oils.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
El Tupay
Set beneath stone arches, the former refectory serves Andean specialties accompanied by live opera three nights a week.
At the table
Tables line the cloistered stone walkway around the courtyard, and Oqre Bar pours pisco sours beside a fireplace.
How it began
Built in 1592 as a Jesuit seminary over the foundations of an Inca palace, the property houses a gilded Baroque chapel.
