In more detail

Perfectly positioned behind Cusco’s main square, Palacio Nazarenas places guests within easy walking distance of the city's atmospheric cobbled streets, colonial landmarks and vibrant markets. As the former capital of the Inca Empire, Cusco is one of South America’s most fascinating cultural destinations, while the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu are easily accessed from the hotel. Despite its central location, the property enjoys a secluded setting that feels worlds away from the bustle of the city.

The hotel features just 55 suites, creating an intimate and exclusive atmosphere. Each suite has been thoughtfully designed to showcase the building’s rich heritage, incorporating original Inca stonework and colonial architectural details alongside modern comforts. Spacious living areas, luxurious marble bathrooms, underfloor heating and personalised butler service come as standard, while many suites also benefit from oxygen-enriched systems that help guests acclimatise to Cusco’s high altitude.

One of the hotel’s standout features is its heated outdoor swimming pool, the only one of its kind in Cusco. Guests can also unwind at the acclaimed Hypnôze Spa, where treatments inspired by Andean traditions utilise indigenous ingredients such as herbs, salts and coca leaves. Additional facilities include tranquil courtyards filled with native flora, a peaceful garden, boutique and library spaces that encourage quiet relaxation.

Dining is a celebration of Peru’s extraordinary culinary heritage. The hotel's acclaimed restaurant showcases innovative Andean cuisine, highlighting ingredients sourced from Cusco and the surrounding region. Menus focus on seasonal produce and native flavours, complemented by an excellent selection of South American wines and expertly crafted pisco cocktails. Guests can also enjoy afternoon tea infused with local botanicals or relaxed drinks and light bites beside the pool.
