Photo of El Convento Cusco

“Historic grandeur and modern comfort combine in this renovated 16th-century convent-cum-hotel in Cusco, Peru. Guestrooms line the gallery of the interior courtyard; inside, original exposed walls are framed by floor-to-ceiling windows alongside bespoke furniture. Dine at Qespi; a cultured bolt-hole.”

El Convento Cusco

A former 16th-century convent packed full of pre-Inca, Inca and colonial artefacts; this feels as much like a trendy museum as it does a modern hotel. Elegantly styled and boasting one of Cusco’s only hotel pools, this property impresses across the board.
