Belmond Hotel Monasterio occupies a building constructed in 1592 as a monastery for Cusco’s Seminary of San Antonio Abad, and the conversion to a hotel kept the original cloistered courtyard, a section of stonework the Spanish built directly onto Inca foundations, and a chapel ceiling whose frescoes have survived largely intact for over four centuries.
Rooms and suites are arranged around the original courtyard, with several offering oxygen enrichment as standard, a genuine consideration at 3,400 meters for guests arriving directly from sea level. The property’s restaurant occupies what was once the monastery’s refectory.
The hotel sits two blocks from the Plaza de Armas, close enough to walk to Cusco’s cathedral and main square, far enough that the courtyard stays quiet once the doors close behind you.
The hotel’s restaurant occupies the building’s former refectory, serving Peruvian cooking alongside a wine list built around the country’s high-altitude vineyards. Afternoon tea is served in the cloistered courtyard when the weather allows.
Rooms with oxygen enrichment address altitude directly, a genuine consideration at 3,400 meters for guests arriving from sea level. The spa offers treatments drawing on Andean ingredients, and the original chapel remains open for guests who want a quiet moment away from the courtyard.
A private walking tour of Cusco’s historic centre, including the Qorikancha temple and Sacsayhuamán, can be arranged directly through the hotel. Textile demonstrations and cooking classes focused on Peruvian cuisine are also available on request.
Rooms arranged around the original cloistered courtyard, most retaining exposed stonework and colonial-era proportions, with several offering oxygen enrichment for altitude acclimatization.
The property’s largest rooms, several with views directly over the courtyard and chapel, are suited to guests who want more space during a longer Cusco stay.

Peru rarely makes the traditional honeymoon shortlist next to the beach destinations that usually fill it, but for couples who want the trip to mean something beyond the resort, few places offer as much.
