Inkaterra la Casona Relais & Chateaux

Perfect location in the heart of Cuzco, as all points of interest are within easy walking distance. The hotel is located in a renovated historic building, arranged around a beautiful colonial inner courtyard. Our room on the first floor was very large with floor heating, with an equally spacious bathroom. The second room was on the ground floor, smaller but equally nice. On request, the open fireplace in the rooms will be lit by the staff. A hotel on this level however should provide a safe box sized for a laptop. The restaurant space is limited, but they serve a nice breakfast and the dinner we had on our first late arrival night was equally good. In any case, there are plenty of lunch and dinner options available around the hotel. All in, a pleasant place to stay when visiting the historic city of Cuzco.

Desde la llegada frente al portón de madera imponente que da directamente a esta legendaria plaza de Cuzco, una cálida bienvenida con la puerta que se abre a una entrada que deja emanar las diferentes épocas y secuencias de la historia, un té de bienvenida y el encanto de este patio que permite subir y disfrutar de las suites que mezclan lo rústico y lo moderno con una paz tranquila casi religiosa. La amabilidad y hospitalidad del personal, profesional y no intrusivo, que sea los botones, housekeeping o los meseros, todos liderado por Luisella. Fueron nuestras primeras vacaciones familiares con nuestra pequeña Cusqueña de 5 meses. Muchas gracias a todos. Renaud , Celeste y Ayla

Truly pleased to have stayed at two of the Inkaterra properties on our Peru tour. The one in Aguas Calientes/Machu Picchu Pueblo and this one in Cusco. Each unique, and deserving of a 5-star rating! The Casona in Cusco was fantastic - truly caring people who are genuinely pleased to host you and meet your every need (Pamela and team at the front, Benigno/Jose and team in the restaurant area, housekeeping staff - one of our traveling party fell sick and the hotel staff’s care and concern was truly touching, including summoning a doctor who unlike in the US actually took his time to evaluate/diagnose/treat/explain, all for $60); a historic location and fantastic property (a former Conquistador’s mansion, reportedly once also inhabited by Simon Bolivar) that has been maintained and decorated impeccably/tastefully; and food prepared by Chef Javier (whom we had the privilege of meeting) that is other-worldly in its creation, presentation, and taste. The hotel hosted a superb Christmas Eve cocktail/snacks and dinner for us - a well-tended fire in the fireplace and delectable appetizers and beverages. The experience was so magical! Rooms were large and well-appointed (although lack of an AC or fan in summer can make them uncomfortably warm at night - we opened up the small portholes in the main door to let the cool outside air in) and beds and pillows were very comfortable. Our only regret was that we only spent two nights here - we are looking forward to returning soon!

A really amazing boutique hotel with 11 rooms. Staff are super friendly, helpful and proud to be helping their guests. Food was really good which is not always the case in hotels. Again, locally sourced ingredients. Rooms are big, quiet and very clean. 100% recommended

Simply a fantastic hotel. It’s in a genuinely old building conveniently situated near the cathedral and with a lot of restaurants to choose from if you want. Although the food in the hotel is excellent. Our suite was well equipped and very comfortable. It did lack natural light as there were only two windows. Excellent shower. Staff perfect. They say they try to recreate the feel of a private home and they largely succeed.

Inkaterra La Casona, a member of the Relais & Châteaux collection, is a beautifully restored 16th-century manor that blends historic charm with modern luxury. Once home to Spanish conquistadors and noble families, this mansion carries a rich history, with its colonial architecture and original features beautifully preserved. I love heritage properties, it makes the experience so special. Located in the heart of Cusco, it’s ideal for exploring the city, offering stunning views and a peaceful ambiance. Each suite is thoughtfully designed with cozy fireplaces and unique furnishings that honor the building’s heritage. The food is outstanding, i loved the breakfast featuring local Cusco bread and avocado on the side - a simple but memorable start to the day. I had a stomach bug when I arrived and the chef went above and beyond to make a chicken soup for me, which was not on the the menu. The serene courtyard is perfect for a morning coffee or an evening glass of wine, and the on-site spa offers Andean-inspired treatments to unwind after a day of exploration. For those wanting to connect with Cusco’s cultural heritage in an elegant and comfortable setting, Inkaterra La Casona is an unforgettable retreat. Cusco is such an incredible city and La Casona is situated in one of the most charming plazas. 🧡
