Nazarenas, Cusco city
The Belmond Palacio Nazarenas is located in a small and quiet square right behind Cusco’s main square. This luxury 5-star hotel is just a few minutes away from the most important museums in Cusco, great restaurants, and many souvenir stores.
This hotel was a convent back in the day. After years of restoration, this old building emerged to become one of the most exclusive hotels in the city. Its Inca stone walls, the convent’s courtyard, and the old fountain are witnesses of a stately past!
Rooms
All the 55 rooms in Belmond Nazarenas are suites, each one enriched with oxygen and your own in-room bar included in the rate. Just ask the staff if you would like to try some delicious drinks and cocktails! Rooms are also equipped with tea and coffee makers, satellite TV, daily newspapers, a DVD player, a safety deposit box, free Wi-Fi, laundry service, and housekeeping twice a day.
Each luxurious private bathroom is fitted with underfloor heating, free-standing bathtubs, separate showers, a hairdryer, towel warmer, a spacious shower, bathrobes, and slippers. Too easy to feel spoiled here!
