Travel back in time
Palacio Nazarenas
Palacio Nazarenas was built in the 1500s on the Inca walls of Peru and happens to be one of the most iconic accommodations. Formerly, it was used as a school, convent, and even as a church; however, today it is a 500-year-old hotel where luxury meets history. Although it has been given a modern look, its design still dates back to the era bygone.
17th century
Belmond Hotel Monasterio
Belmond Hotel Monasterio is nestled in a 17th-century building, which makes it one of the most iconic properties in the country. After invading Peru, Spanish conquerors wanted to escape poverty by becoming Jesuits. To accommodate them, the bishop of Cusco ordered the building of a new monastery in 1598. Here, you can also take a lesson on Peru's national drink, pisco.
Floating hotel
