This contemporary luxury resort in the Sacred Valley combines modern design with traditional elements, featuring private train station for Machu Picchu access. The property offers spacious rooms with mountain views, extensive spa, indoor and outdoor pools, and adventure activities. It's strategically located between Cusco and Machu Picchu.
Tambo del Inka, a Luxury Collection Resort, sits beside the Urubamba River in the Sacred Valley, roughly midway between Cusco and Machu Picchu. Operated under Marriott's Luxury Collection brand, the property pairs a contemporary architectural design of glass, stone, and wood with the surrounding Andean mountain scenery, and is one of the few hotels in the valley with its own private train platform giving direct access to the PeruRail service toward Aguas Calientes.
Rooms and suites are spacious by regional standards, finished with local textiles and large windows framing the valley's mountains; many categories include private terraces or balconies. The resort's spa offers Andean-inspired treatments using local ingredients such as coca and Andean herbs, and the property features both indoor and outdoor heated pools, a fitness centre, and an adventure centre that arranges rafting, biking, and horseback excursions into the surrounding valley.
Dining spans a main restaurant serving Peruvian and international cuisine with produce sourced from the valley's farms, alongside a lounge bar and in-room dining options. The breakfast buffet draws on the same local-ingredient focus, with Andean grains, fresh fruit, and made-to-order dishes.
Service is oriented toward upscale leisure travellers, with a concierge team experienced in coordinating Machu Picchu logistics, private guided tours, and special-occasion arrangements, plus family-friendly touches such as kids' activities during peak season. Its valley-floor location, direct train access, and full resort facilities make it one of the most complete luxury bases for exploring the Sacred Valley and Machu Picchu.
