Best Hotels Near Sacsayhuaman Cusco

Sacsayhuaman is a massive 15th-century Inca ceremonial complex overlooking Cusco from the north, its three zigzag walls of perfectly fitted limestone boulders — some weighing over 120 tonnes — constituting one of the most extraordinary examples of Inca engineering in existence. The site hosts the Inti Raymi festival each June solstice in a spectacular recreation of the Inca Festival of the Sun. Hotels in Cusco are within a 30-minute walk or short taxi ride of Sacsayhuaman, making it an essential addition to any Cusco itinerary.

Belmond Hotel Monasterio

Built within the 16th-century Monastery of San Antonio Abad, the Belmond Monasterio is the most extraordinary hotel conversion in the Americas — its cobblestone courtyard, the carved stone arches, and the original chapel are so perfectly preserved that breakfast here feels like a sacrament. The oxygen-enriched rooms for altitude acclimatisation are a practical genius. Nothing in Cusco comes close.
