Tucked off an alleyway in the heart of the artisan neighbourhood of San Blas, Casa San Blas has beautifully appointed rooms with natural colors – and our favorite – textiles!

Sacred Valley Hotel – San Agustin Monasterio de Recoleta
Located on the outskirts of Urubamba, in a community called Chichubamba, this beautifully restored 17th Century Franciscan Monastery and convent is extremely atmospheric. There are two parts to the hotel – rooms gather around the Cloister which includes tiles from the original building and decorated with artefacts from the church and other relics, and a new part with flower filled gardens. With views of the Sacred Valley Mountains, and large gardens this is most definitely a place to relax.
Aguas Calientes Hotel - La Cabana
This is an old style, small hotel in busy Aguas Calientes, and the town that has grown up to service visitors to Machu Picchu. La Cabana is well reviewed, with small well-appointed rooms and a friendly atmosphere. It is located at the top of the hill so requires some uphill walking to access.

Sacred Valley Hotel – Sol y Luna
The name of the hotel means sun and moon, and these casitas in the heart of the Sacred Valley win our hearts for many reasons. Firstly, they run a range of social projects, and by staying with them you automatically give back. Secondly, much of the decoration has been done by a Lima artist…. and is very memorable, quirky and fun! This really adds to the atmosphere of the hotel. Finally, the casitas, secluded throughout the property and amongst lush gardens and the casitas are decorated with a Peruvian style, and yet have all the modern amenities. A simply superb place to get away from it all and unwind.
Aguas Calientes Hotel – Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel
This is a truly amazing property, built almost organically amongst the jungle that surrounds the citadel of Machu Picchu – there are a range of rooms, but no two rooms are alike, almost built into their surroundings and yet standing out with their whitewashed walls. The Inkaterra hotels are well known for their environmental initiatives, and fine food. The Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel is a world unto itself, and in a class of its own. One of our long time favorites.
