The Only Hotel Beside Machu Picchu

Adjacent to the Machu Picchu citadel entrance, Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel is a 31-key hotel high in the Andes, with Peruvian dining, orchid gardens, a relaxation area and first-light access to the citadel.

First light at the Lost City

Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel is the only hotel adjacent to the Machu Picchu citadel entrance, set high in the Andes amid cloud forest and orchid gardens with views toward Huayna Picchu. It has 31 keys, 29 rooms and 2 suites, from standard rooms to deluxe rooms with terraces and one-bedroom suites with a living area and terrace.

Dining includes the guests-only Tampu restaurant for international and Peruvian cooking with seasonal organic produce, the Tampu Bar for pisco sours, muna tea and live Peruvian music and the panoramic Tinkuy buffet with Andean ingredients such as corn and alpaca, with an on-site produce plot. Rather than a spa, a relaxation area facing Huayna Picchu offers massages, aromatherapy, yoga and meditation, amid extensive orchid gardens. Pared-back and built of local stone and wood, its great advantage is location, with a First Light pre-dawn guided citadel entry for up to four guests, a sunrise breakfast, coca-leaf reading and vow renewals. Part of Belmond, it suits travellers who want the most convenient possible Machu Picchu access, from couples to those drawn to Andean cultural experiences.
