"Step into living history at this peaceful five-star hotel set in a 16th-century monastery with an amazing artwork collection, sensational Peruvian cuisine and rooms with enhanced oxygen."

Nestled in the heart of historic Cusco, Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel, offers a serene escape infused with centuries of rich culture and artistry. Housed in a 16th-century monastery built atop the site of an ancient Incan palace, this architectural gem is steeped in local heritage, long before the city itself came to be. Within walking distance, you'll find iconic landmarks like the Cusco Cathedral, the vibrant gardens of Plaza de Armas and the Inca Museum.
Inside, the spacious guest rooms blend timeless elegance with authentic Peruvian character – think hand-woven alpaca blankets, whitewashed walls, natural wood furnishings and antique art in gilded frames. While the décor pays homage to its monastic roots, you’ll enjoy thoughtful modern touches, like enhanced oxygen in select rooms to help guests acclimate to Cusco’s high elevation. One-bedroom suites include butler service, a cosy living area, and a private terrace – ideal for settling in with ease.
Dining at Monasterio is a sensory journey. Start your day with a memorable breakfast at Oqre, which also serves refined Peruvian cuisine later in the day. For lighter fare and the hotel’s signature pisco sour, stop by the elegant Oqre Bar. At El Tupay, enjoy international dishes made from locally sourced ingredients, sometimes accompanied by live opera performances.
Beyond the cuisine, the hotel invites deeper engagement with its cultural offerings. Join a guided tour of the art collection, or become a Chef for a Day, exploring local markets with the hotel chef and preparing your own dish. While there's no gym, spa, or pool, the city itself becomes your playground—and when it’s time to unwind, request a visit from the Andean bath butler or enjoy a massage in the calming treatment room.
Perhaps the most magical moments here are the quiet ones: meditating by the courtyard fountain, sitting beneath a 300-year-old cedar tree in the cloisters, or stargazing in the candlelit courtyard after nightfall. It’s a stay that nourishes the soul, just as it did for the monks who once called this place home.
