Inkaterra La Casona

Inkaterra La Casona sits on Plazoleta Nazarenas in Cusco's historic center, sharing the same small plaza as Belmond Hotel Monasterio and a short walk from the Plaza de Armas and Qorikancha. The hotel occupies a restored 16th-century colonial mansion built around a stone courtyard, and with only 11 suites it functions more like a private residence than a conventional hotel, decorated with period antiques, local textiles, and original artwork. Each suite has a fireplace, oversized bathroom, and individually controlled climate, and rates are inclusive of a personal butler assigned to each room for the length of the stay. The in-house restaurant, also called La Casona, serves a tasting-menu style Peruvian dinner and a generous breakfast featuring produce from Inkaterra's own farms; there is no separate bar but wine and pisco service comes through room and restaurant staff. There is no pool or gym given the property's compact footprint, though guests can request in-room spa treatments and are offered complimentary excursions to nearby Inca sites and museums as part of the stay. The atmosphere suits couples and travelers seeking quiet, highly personalized service over resort-style facilities, and the central plaza location means most of Cusco's main historic sites are reachable on foot.
