The Monasterio Hotel is one of the most renowned hotels in Cusco City, largely due to its affiliation with the prestigious Orient-Express Collection. However, the property truly set itself apart by being the first to offer oxygen-enriched rooms to help guests combat altitude sickness. Located just a few blocks from the main plaza, the hotel was originally built in the 16th century as a monastery on Inca foundations. Much of its original architecture remains intact, honoring the legacy of its early seminarian occupants. True to its origins, the rooms and suites combine traditional and contemporary furnishings, with a stunning collection of religious art adorning the walls. Each room and hallway invites guests to uncover hidden corners that seem to hold legendary secrets. Nestled within the courtyard is the “Illariy” restaurant, where distinctive Peruvian and international cuisine is served, surrounded by original paintings. In the mornings, guests enjoy their meals at “El Tupay” restaurant, and in the evenings, the Lobby Bar offers refreshing and delicious drinks expertly crafted by skilled bartenders. The Monasterio provides an idyllic setting for discovering everything the region has to offer.
