Five luxury hotels in Cusco – and how to choose
The luxury hotels in Cusco cost between 236 € and 696 € a night, on average 369 €.
Belmond Monasterio Cusco · Centro HistóricoAt all five the suitespot benefits apply from the first night.
And the fifth is a special case.
Our travel advisors’ insider tip
The largest suite in the selection is at the Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel: 158 square metres.
Your travel advisor will give you the price for this hotel.
Our travel advisors obtain the rate for your dates individually.
There is a second thing worth knowing. Four of the five hotels are in the Centro Histórico. The Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel does not – it stands in Yucay, in the Sacred Valley.
So anyone who wants the largest unit makes two decisions at once: more space and a different location. That is no drawback, but it should be clear before you start comparing.
Our advice: tell us first whether you want to stay in the old town or in the valley. If you stay in the old town, the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas Cusco from 696 € is the clearest answer to the size question: all eleven categories there are suites, from 30 to 130 square metres. If you want the valley, we will get you the offer for the 158 square metres.
Where to stay in Cusco: the Centro Histórico or the Sacred Valley
Four of the five best hotels in Cusco stand in the Centro Histórico, one in the Sacred Valley.
JW Marriott El Convento Cusco · Centro HistóricoIn the Centro Histórico stands the Palacio del Inka Cusco from 236 € with 22 categories – the widest choice in the selection and the most affordable entry. Our recommendation for anyone who wants choice and sets off on foot.
Also there stands the JW Marriott El Convento Cusco from 333 € with 21 categories. It is the only hotel in the selection with categories looking onto the mountains. Our recommendation for anyone looking beyond the rooftops.
The Belmond Monasterio Cusco from 405 € and the Belmond Palacio Nazarenas Cusco from 696 € carry their origin in the name – two historic buildings that today offer 17 and eleven categories. Our recommendation for anyone to whom the building matters as much as the room.
And in Yucay, in the Sacred Valley, stands the Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel with six categories – among them the largest suite in the selection at 158 square metres. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to sleep lower than the old town allows.
Our travel advisors know the routes and work them out for your particular occasion.

What a night at a luxury hotel in Cusco costs

| Belmond Monasterio Cusco | 405 € | 1st night |
| Belmond Palacio Nazarenas Cusco | 696 € | 1st night |
At all five hotels the benefits apply from the first night. That is useful when Cusco is only the stop before moving on.
Your travel advisor will give you the current price for the Aranwa Sacred Valley Hotel.
When it is at its best: from May to September. The days are clear, the nights cool, and the view reaches far across the valley.
From October to April it is greener, the afternoons bring rain, and the town is quieter. Our recommendation for anyone who wants to see the old town without the crowds.
And a note that belongs here: Cusco lies high. Plan the first hours gently – the Sacred Valley lies lower and is therefore often chosen as the first stop.
And whatever the date: you get the suitespot benefits in the quietest week of the year just as you do in the busiest.
