High in the Andes, at 3000 metres above sea level, lies the historic city of Cuzco, famed for its unique blend of Spanish and Inca cultures.

Right beside the lively central square is Hotel Monasterio, a former monastery and national monument dating from 1592. This delightful Orient-Express urban retreat retains its centuries-old charm and ambience—especially within its cloistered courtyards and baroque chapel richly decorated in gold.

The ideal base from which to discover the delights of Cuzco, its doors open to a vibrant scene of old and modern architecture, markets, galleries and restaurants serving ‘new Andean’ cuisine.
