“The Belmond Monasterio is an excellent property full of history and character. I would've given The Monasterio a full five stars, except there's a catch, and I'll explain later.
The Monasterio is located a mere 5 minute walk (7 if you're taking it easy and acclimating to the altitude like we were) from Cusco's Plaza de Las Armas, the main city square. It is also part of Nazarena Square, which has its share of restaurants and shops. For this reason, you're never far from the places of interest and activity in Cusco.
As with the other Belmond properties we've stayed at, the true star of the show at The Monasterio is its entire cast. Everyone we encountered was helpful and friendly. No complaints here.
We had lunch at Illariy, The Monasterio's casual dining option. The food did not disappoint, and as usual, service was impeccable.
We stayed at one of The Monasterio's one-bedroom courtyard suites. The suite was beautifully appointed with elegant contemporary furniture that juxtaposed nicely against the 17th century artwork that adorned the walls throughout the hotel. The suite was spacious, and the service team at The Monasterio graciously welcomed us with the charcuterie and cheese platter as well as with a chilled bottle of Moet & Chandon champagne. We couldn't find any fault with that.
However, if there's one significant miss that the hotel's designers should've addressed, it's the bathroom in this suite. The bathroom itself is spacious; that's not the problem, but when not adequately heated, that can be problematic. Keep in mind we visited The Monasterio during Peru's spring, so the weather was cool especially in the evenings. Taking a shower was a challenge in that it was difficult to keep warm. The stone floor of the bathroom is not heated, so one can't comfortably walk around barefoot. The shower is open on one end, so even with the shower running, the steam doesn't keep you warm at all. The Belmond should consider installing floor heat or heat lamps or a space heater safe for humid rooms. In my opinion, this was a significant demerit.
That aside, I would wholeheartedly recommend The Monasterio.”

“Another amazing Belmond hotel. We've stayed this week in 3 of the 4 in Cusco Province. The Monasterio is the most historic with walls covered with paintings, and the sole remaining 400 year old cedar tree in the main courtyard. The background music everywhere adds to the ambiance.
Restaurant is very elegant...we enjoyed the opera night and felt underdressed in nicer slacks and pressed collared shirt.... Butt the music in that former Jesuit refectory was magical. Rooms are nice, we had the cheapest. My wife raved over the bath products! The reception lounge/bar is elegant and classic with a fireplace. The service is Belmonds signature and this one was no exception. Every employee greeted us with eye contact in the halls and said good day, even janitors. They noticed unlit candles, opened doors, invited us to wait inside while they awaited our ride outside! This is NOT all inclusive like the Belmond Sanctuary.
Literally the only thing I noticed was that the waiter did not refill my water.... Maybe because you pay for them and mind bottles was empty.... But he could have asked...I really needed water!
The location is wonderful, the best; literally 2 minutes walk to the cathedral. We awakened at 7:45 and made it to mass at 8!!”
