A Former Monastery in Central Cusco

Beside Plazoleta Nazarenas in central Cusco, Monasterio is a Belmond hotel in a former monastery and national monument, with 117 rooms and suites, Peruvian and international dining, colonial art and a spa therapy suite.

Colonial art and cloisters at altitude

Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel occupies a former monastery beside Plazoleta Nazarenas in central Cusco, a protected national monument at 3,399 metres, next to sister hotel Palacio Nazarenas. It has 117 rooms and suites, from rooms to junior and one-bedroom suites with marble baths, some offering enhanced oxygenation for altitude comfort and hand-woven alpaca blankets. Dining spans OQRE for Peruvian fusion in the cloisters with a Sunday brunch, El Tupay for international cooking with local ingredients and live opera three nights a week, and the OQRE Bar for pisco sours and live jazz, with guests also able to dine at Palacio Nazarenas.

There is a therapy suite for spa and massage with Andean techniques and an Andean bath butler, rather than a pool. Built around a central courtyard with a 300-year-old cedar tree, it holds one of Cusco’s finest collections of 18th-century colonial religious art and a 1595 chapel. Experiences run from an art tour and dinner-and-opera to a chef-for-a-day market and cooking class. Part of Belmond, it suits history, art and atmosphere seekers who want an iconic heritage Cusco base near the plaza.
