Cusco Hotels with Bars

Belmond Monasterio: The Best Hotel in Cusco, Beyond Any Comparison Without exaggeration, Belmond Monasterio is the best hotel in Cusco. Even after trying two other higher-priced Belmond properties and the JW Marriott, I still firmly believe this is the ultimate choice. The beauty of this hotel is beyond words. The elegant public spaces and tranquil gardens create an atmosphere of timeless serenity. The classic, historic walls whisper stories of the past, while the dazzling golden chapel adds a breathtaking sense of grandeur. Every detail is a masterpiece. Yet, what truly sets Belmond Monasterio apart is its service. The staff are warm, professional, and genuinely caring. Their service attitude is impeccable—perhaps the best in South America. A prime example: when I lost my credit card, they found it and returned it promptly. Compared to the Los Cabos Waldorf (which I mention due to its premium pricing), this hotel’s service is on another level—infinitely more personal, thoughtful, and heartfelt. I would love to give special recognition to my butler, though unfortunately, I have forgotten his name. In short, I cannot recommend this hotel enough. Endless love for Belmond Monasterio.

Our train back from Machu Picchu was delayed, so we didn't get to the hotel until 10 PM. Upon entering, we were immediately greeted by a cozy warmth. The turndown service was already complete, and there was even a hot water bottle. It was hands down the best night's sleep we've had so far on this trip. The hotel itself is incredibly stylishly decorated. Breakfast is a buffet, but you can also order à la carte. The coffee is excellent too. Highly recommend!

The photos don't do justice to the place! The hotel is fantastic--the location is close enough to the attractions but just outside of the main tourist area since it's up on the hillside, so it's the perfect combination of convenience and relaxation. The check-in process was so welcoming, we felt at home as soon as stepping into the hotel's courtyard. The views from the hotel were unbelievable; the breakfast was great; the rooms were very clean and has all the comforts you'd need. And don't miss the llamas in the backyard! The restaurant staff didn't seem very experienced but it was sufficient.

The hotel is very well located, and the restaurant is unbeatable. I didn't give it a 5/5 because I went for my birthday and wasn't given any gifts, even though I specified them at check-in.

Everything was perfect, but right at the very end, I was charged an amount that I wasn't sure if it was a service fee or something else. I was in a hurry, so I just paid it. However, if there are additional charges beyond the room rate, I wish I had been informed beforehand.

Incredibly friendly staff, beautiful view on a high point of Cusco, the bedrooms are not above reception but below, but they are full of light. Very clean, highly recommend

The hotel has a great location, just a 5-minute walk from Arms Square. The room was spacious, with a large and comfortable bed, and was clean and well-equipped. The service was excellent; they poured me a cup of local altitude sickness-relieving tea as soon as I arrived, and helped with my luggage when I came in and out of the hotel. The breakfast was also good, not lavish, but it had everything I needed.

The location is really good. Cusco is difficult to get around due to altitude sickness, but it is really comfortable to come in and relax in the middle. There is also a Korean restaurant called Sarangchae right across the street. The downside is that the slaughter is a bit old and there is a club in front of the hotel, so it's a bit noisy until dawn. The staff were friendly and I had a good stay for 3 nights.

Let me start with the positives, stylish design, exactly like the pics advertised, from entering the hotel to the resting area to the balcony to the room, all very nice. But you need to be ready for the stairs if you not getting here by car, going out and coming back from the square, especially if you have luggage or backpack, everyone arriving here were out of breath. The bathroom has odor coming up from the pipe, which is normal for house this old, if you are okay with it. I was in room 201, sound proof does not exist, can hear car passing, dog barking, guests coming back from partying at night, tourists cheering & leaving hotel for trips at 3:30am, didn’t get much sleep. Most disappointing thing was hot water, I arrived in the afternoon climbing up the stairs, was hoping to have a quick shower before heading out for dinner, stood in the bathroom waited 5mins for hot water, was told be staff hot water was out they are trying to fix, came back after drinks, still no hot water, was very late so didn’t call staff, tried to have a shower before check out at 7am, hot water was still not available after another good 5mins standing in the shower… sigh

The Qosqo Wasi boasts an unbeatable location, with easy access to attractions and transportation. The receptionists and staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful, ensuring a warm welcome and attentive service. Clean, spacious rooms and excellent dining options make for a delightful stay. Highly recommended!
