Best hotels in Peru

Inkaterra’s La Casona is Cusco’s first boutique hotel and the only Relais & Chateaux in the city. Located in the traditional Plaza de las Nazarenas, it enjoys the best of both worlds: quiet, peaceful surroundings, yet only a block away from the vibrant cobblestone streets of San Blas that heads directly to the Main Square. Originally serving as training grounds for an elite group of Incas, the 16th-century manor house has a rich heritage, receiving several illustrious guests over the years, like the libertador Simón Bolívar. Elegantly restored and with discreet service this truly is a peaceful palatial retreat.

The only Relais & Chateaux hotel in Puno, Titilaka is a boutique hotel of dreams. A re-modelled getaway lodge, it's totally off the beaten path on its own private peninsula, surrounded by nothing but ethereal Titicaca lake views. Here, your only companions are infinite skies, snowcapped mountains and the shimmering waters of the pristine lake and in the hotel, an indulgent experience awaits. Enjoy world-class facilities, exquisite food and a range of enlightening activities, designed to offer a taste of the lake dwellers’ traditions and way of life. A magnificent feast for the senses in every way.

Hacienda Concepción sits deep in the heart of the Amazon, exactly where Inkaterra’s commitment to ecotourism and sustainability first began. Originally a cacao and rubber plantation in the 50s, fast-forward a couple of decades and you'll find this luxury haven amid 800-plus hectares of lush, juicy rainforest, complete with a natural oxbow lake. The location - between Tambopata National Reserve and the shores of the Madre de Dios river - makes this a unique spot and an ideal place to immerse yourself fully into the wonders of the Amazon.

CIRQA Relais & Chateaux is the only hotel of its calibre in the city of Arequipa. Located just a block away from the Main Square and part of a UNESCO protected site, this gorgeous sillar stone restored monastery dates back to 1540, the year the city was founded. Inspired by the dedicated hospitality of the monks and paying homage to its heritage, CIRQA is the perfect marriage between past and present, and in all areas, minimalism meets the utmost refinement. If you’re seeking a bespoke experience in this wonderful city, look no further - you could come to Arequipa just to check into this beautiful hotel.
