Peruvian Highlands Spa Hotel

"This historic property is in fact a museum and a 5-star luxury hotel located across the street from the must see Qorikancha. Our experience was outstanding. Hot tea in the lobby. A baby lima in the plaza by the restaurant. Outstanding service with people waiting to assist you everywhere you go. The restaurant provides excellent food, with lovely, soothing live music. The buffet breakfasts had all the high quality offerings one could hope for. The room was plush and luxurious (even if a bit small), with beds one sinks into, plush first rate robes, towels, bedding and pillows, hot showers. Don't miss the free tour of the hotel at 5p, done by a very accomplished young man who provided a lot of information one would not have gotten otherwise. It ended with a moving Inka ceremony of music and dance. After 10 days in a series of nice but simple hotels in Pisac, Ollantaytambo and Machu Picchu, it was nice to enjoy the comforts of the Palacio for 3 nights, while seeing the sights in Cusco."

"I stayed in three different hotels during my trip to Peru, and Sonesta was by far my favorite. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming throughout my stay. The location is about a 15–20 minute walk from the main plaza, which made it pleasantly quieter at night compared to more central hotels. The free breakfast buffet was easily the best I had on the trip both in variety and quality and helped cut down on food costs during the day. Would definitely stay here again and recommend it to others visiting the area."

"We had a wonderful stay at Hilton Garden Inn Cusco. The staff was friendly and helpful. The room was clean and comfortable. We took advantage of the free filtered water station and refilled our water bottles there. The buffet breakfast was incredible - tons of options including local foods, omelets, fruit, juices and more! A note to future travelers: Be sure to prepay for breakfast- it is more than double the cost to pay in person! We wished we had added the breakfast option even though we would have missed a day due to our scheduled trek. "

"Clean, well kept. Great service "

"Very friendly staff, great breakfast, good location. We could leave our bags in the hotel overnight when we went to Machu Picchu. Staff could meet us at the train station to help with luggage."
