Palacio Del Inka Luxury Collec

Cusco, Peru
$250-400/ nat

Bestil hvis You want to sleep inside a living museum where 500-year-old Inca walls meet Spanish colonial luxury, and you don't mind paying extra for the privilege.

Hvorfor folk elsker det

  • The 'museum hotel' vibe with original Inca walls and colonial art in the hallways
  • Inti, the resident baby alpaca who hangs out in the courtyard for breakfast
  • Location directly across from the Koricancha (Temple of the Sun)

Hurtig oversigt: A stunning historic property that nickel-and-dimes you for the pool and lacks AC, but makes up for it with undeniable atmosphere.

Anmeldt af @ScottsdaleTravelChick: I’ve never stayed anywhere that felt so much like a living museum. Walking through the candlelit lobby after a day exploring Cusco was the highlight of my trip. The silence and the history in these walls are just incredible.

The hype

Travelers are obsessed with the history, the courtyard alpaca, and the breakfast buffet, but many feel stung by the extra fees for the spa and the lack of AC.

Reality check

The 'Classic' rooms are tight and often dark; you are paying for the common areas, not the square footage of the entry-level rooms.

  • You are a history buff who wants a private tour of Inca walls without leaving your hotel
  • You appreciate a massive, high-quality breakfast buffet with live harp music
  • You want a central location that feels like a sanctuary once you step inside

Renhed & Vedligeholdelse

8.5
  • Housekeeping: Generally thorough daily service, though some guests report missed dust under beds or in corners.
  • Bathroom hygiene: Bathrooms are stone-clad and usually spotless, but older plumbing means occasional drainage speed issues.
  • Maintenance: Excellent preservation of historic elements; creaky floors are a feature, not a bug.
  • Linens & towels: High-quality, crisp white linens and plush towels, consistent with the Luxury Collection brand.
  • Odors & scents: Lobby smells of fresh lilies and eucalyptus; rooms are neutral but can get stuffy.

Ofte stillede spørgsmål og skjulte tips

Alt hvad du gerne vil vide før du booker.

Is there air conditioning?

No. Rooms have heating for cold Andean nights, but no cooling. You must open windows to cool down, which lets in noise.

Is the pool free?

No. The 'Andes Spirit Spa' thermal circuit (including the hydrotherapy pool) typically carries an access fee for guests.

Is breakfast included?

Often yes, especially for Marriott Platinum+ members or specific rates, but check your booking. The buffet is excellent and costs ~$25-30 if paid separately.

Do they have oxygen in the rooms?

Yes, the system is built-in, but turning it on usually incurs a daily fee unless you are in a premium suite.

How far is it from the main square?

It's a 5-10 minute flat walk to the Plaza de Armas. Very central.

Is it kid-friendly?

Surprisingly yes—kids love the baby alpaca in the courtyard, though the vibe is definitely more 'quiet luxury' than 'playground'.

Insidertips

  • ✨

    Ask the bartender at Rumi Bar to show you the '8-angled stone' inside the hotel walls—it's a private piece of Inca history most tourists miss.

  • ✨

    The daily 5:00 PM art tour is actually worth it; it ends with a traditional Inca ceremony in the courtyard.

  • ✨

    Buy your souvenirs from the ladies in the courtyard; the quality is higher than the street vendors and the prices are fair.

5 ting du bør vide før du tager af sted

  • 💡The 'Classic' rooms are shockingly small for the price point.

  • 💡You have to pay to use the indoor pool, which feels cheap for a Luxury Collection hotel.

  • 💡The lighting in the rooms is very dim/moody—great for romance, bad for finding things in your suitcase.

  • 💡The cheese and wine station in the lobby in the evenings is a hidden gem.

  • 💡The pisco sour class included in the resort fee is actually fun and gets you a free drink.
