About the Resort
A Luxury Collection palace on Inca foundations
Palacio del Inka is a Marriott Luxury Collection palace built over Qorikancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun — a colonial mansion claimed by Gonzalo Pizarro in 1533, with original Incan stonework and the famous Stone of Eight Angles in its bar. Hand-painted ceilings, gilded antiques and coffered dark-wood niches run through the rooms; oxygen and coca tea ease the 3,400-metre altitude. The Andes Spirit Spa is the largest in Cusco and the only hydrotherapy circuit in town, Inti Raymi dines with a Master Sommelier, and the Plaza de Armas is seven minutes away.

What Our Clients Say
★★★★★
“The most extraordinary place I have ever stayed. Nothing prepares you for the depth of the silence, the beauty of the reef, or the sheer generosity of the experience.”

★★★★★
“We’ve stayed here three times now. The house reef has no equal. The stargazing was, genuinely, one of the most moving experiences of my adult life.”
✓ Verified via feefo
★★★★★
“I had stayed at Four Seasons, One&Only and Velaa before visiting Palacio del Inka, a Luxury Collection Hotel. They are all magnificent. But this is different in a way that is hard to articulate.”

Peru
Belmond Hotel Monasterio
Belmond Hotel Monasterio occupies a 1592 former monastery built on an Inca palace foundation, two blocks from Cusco's Plaza de Armas. Original stone cloisters, vaulted arches, a gold-leaf chapel, Escuela Cusqueña art and a 300-year-old cedar courtyard set the scene; oxygen-enriched rooms ease the 3,399-metre altitude. El Tupay serves candlelit dinners in the stone-arched historic chapel with opera nights, and the hotel is the classic Cusco heritage base for Machu Picchu.
Peru
Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba
Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba sits on a 100-acre Andean-hillside estate in the Sacred Valley — a 5-star contemporary hacienda and National Geographic Unique Lodge from Peru's eco-tourism pioneer. Twelve rooms fill the main Casa Hacienda and 24 standalone casitas spread across the hillside with fireplaces, terraces and valley views. A 10-acre organic farm of quinoa, giant corn and native potatoes feeds the table (guests harvest), the all-organic Mayu Spa adds a hot plunge pool, and at 2,870 metres it makes a gentle acclimatization base before Machu Picchu.
Peru
JW Marriott Hotel Lima
The JW Marriott Lima is a 25-storey glass tower on the Costa Verde cliffs in Miraflores, where nearly every one of its 300 rooms looks out over the Pacific. It stands across from the Larcomar centre and steps from Lima's celebrated restaurants; inside, La Vista plates Peruvian cooking with ocean views and the JW Sushi & Ceviche Lounge turns out Nikkei. A clifftop pool deck and a 24th-floor panoramic lounge make it the polished sea-level bookend to the Andean stays.
