Palacio del Inka
Peru
Palacio del Inka occupies a mansion of almost five centuries in Cusco's historic centre, opposite Qorikancha, the Temple of the Sun. Stone arches, courtyards, carved wood and historic paintings place the city's layered architecture within the hotel itself. Rooms and suites use traditional colonial decoration and a rich colour palette that reflects Peruvian heritage. The building combines Inca stonework with later Spanish architecture, including the historic Casa de los Cuatro Bustos. Inti Raymi provides the main restaurant, while Andes Spirit Spa offers treatments and a thermal circuit for time spent resting after excursions. The hotel also presents cultural, historical and culinary experiences. With shops and museums around the main square close by, it makes the accommodation part of exploring Cusco's history rather than simply a place to return to at night.
