Step back in time when you stay at the Palacio Nazarenas Hotel in Cusco, Peru. This beautiful hotel is centrally located behind the main square in Cusco and has an illustrious past. It once served as a palace and then as a convent, and after extensive restoration in recent years, it has become one of Cusco’s most exclusive and luxurious hotels. Its central location also makes it easy to walk around the city and see the local sights. You can also book tours for sights like the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.

As you walk past the walls of ancient Inca stones into an open courtyard with a traditional fountain, you will marvel at the architecture of this 55 suite palace. Every suite comes with its own bar where freshly grown ingredients are readily available for exotic drinks.

Palacio Nazarenas also boasts seven of the largest cloistered terraces surrounding the city’s first outdoor heated swimming pool. The entire palace is bedecked with local flowers, herbs, fountains, and other water features that run like ancient irrigation canals creating what can only be described as a divine ambiance.
