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.




With only 11 suites, the Inkaterra feels more like a private pad than a hotel. Be it a Plaza, Balcón or Patio suite, the King (or twin) beds all have 100% pima cotton sheets, anti-allergenic pillows and a soft-as-a-feather down duvet. Spacious marble bathrooms are equipped with a standing tub and separate shower, Inkaterra hand-made toiletries and lush towels. And with rooms checked three times a day, an amazing turndown service AND a stone fireplace in every room, you’ll even be looking forward to bunking down for the night!
The complimentary Afternoon Tea every afternoon, featuring homegrown leaves and plenty of treats.
One of Cusco’s top restaurants, La Cicciolina, is only a couple of blocks away - don’t leave without trying it. The food is fabulous, and the atmosphere even better!
The restaurant is a guests-only affair and there’s no bar (although drinks can be served in the common spaces), so if you’re looking for a livelier dining atmosphere, head outside.
