Palacio Nazarenas, A Belmond Hotel, is a distinct palace hotel at the forefront of Cusco’s avant-garde. Within this urban retreat, Inca walls, gilded paintings and colonial frescoes meet open courtyards, flowing water channels and colonnaded walkways. The property is full of reinvention, transformed over the centuries from a glamorous Spanish palace to a convent and, today, a chic hotel.

In the largest of the seven courtyards, guests gather around the heated outdoor pool – the only one in the city. The adjacent Senzo Bar offers an extensive pisco menu, providing the perfect setting for a poolside sundowner accompanied by live music. The Secret Garden is not only a tranquil retreat, but also a place for guests to enjoy bespoke tea experiences based on homegrown herbs.

Mauka restaurant, helmed by acclaimed Peruvian chef Pía León, epitomises culinary innovation. Ingredients such as native crops, grains and seeds are transformed into bold, contemporary dishes that celebrate hyper-local diversity.

The 55 light-filled suites, with balconies and terraces boasting mountain and city views, and the cutting-edge, holistic Hypnôze Spa are all oxygen-enriched to combat the effects of Cusco’s high altitude. A personalised butler service accompanies each suite, ensuring every individual need is met.

The hotel is located just two blocks from the cobbled San Blas district, Cusco’s artistic hub. At the hotel, contemporary artworks from the Art Lima collection shine a light on Cusco’s next generation.

On-site activities include early-morning meditation, Peruvian cooking classes and tours of the hotel to discover its fascinating history.
