The “Sonesta Posada del Inca Yucay” Hotel is a lovely place to unwind. Situated in the picturesque Sacred Valley between Ollantaytambo and Pisac, at an elevation of 9000 feet, the Sonesta Hotel is a complete village with its own church within the peaceful town of Yucay. Guests enter the hotel through what was once the Monastery of Santa Catalina de Sena, dating back to the 17th century, with each room featuring a plaque commemorating the nun who once lived there. In one of several areas centered around water fountains adorned with colorful flowers, visitors are greeted with a cup of hot chocolate to help combat altitude sickness.
The newly remodeled hotel now offers upgraded facilities in a colonial style, surrounded by beautiful gardens. The rooms feature locks and keys from old iron doors, stone and wood beds and headboards, and bathrooms with designer sinks. The rooms maintain a cloister-like appearance that some may view as austere while others see as part of the ambiance. This is a place to relax, enjoy the stunning scenery, and explore the small town that remains unspoiled by commercialism. The facilities are designed for guests to interact with craft vendors, read in the well-tended gardens, enjoy a drink by the central hearth in the “Wayra Wasi” Bar while listening to live Andean music, and experience the spa.
