Cusco, Peru
La Casona Inkaterra
Elegant Andean retreat in the heart of Cusco
Inkaterra La Casona, Cusco‘s first five-star boutique hotel, is an exquisite fusion of history and culture. Tucked into the storied Plaza de las Nazarenas, this 16th-century manor house is framed by cobblestone streets and breathtaking Andean scenery. Once the training grounds for an elite Inca army, the property has been meticulously restored to preserve its original architecture whilst offering modern sophistication. Step through its grand entrance into a central patio surrounded by 11 suites. Ancient Andean textiles and original murals evoke the rich cultural heritage of the region, whilst modern amenities provide serene comfort.
At the heart of Inkaterra La Casona lies the Yacu Therapy Room, a tranquil retreat where rejuvenating treatments blend ancient traditions with locally sourced spa products. Here, the harmony of mind and body is nurtured in a serene setting.
The culinary journey at Inkaterra La Casona is equally enchanting. In the intimate dining room, the authentic flavours of Peruvian cuisine are elevated by fresh ingredients from the Andean region. Guests are also invited to a distinctive Tea Time experience, where Inkaterra’s award-winning organic black tea takes centre stage, offering a moment of pure indulgence.
Venture beyond the manor’s historic stone walls to explore the cultural tapestry of Cusco and wander the city streets, where echoes of centuries-old traditions mingle with the lively spirit of the city.

Places to combine La Casona Inkaterra with
Sacred Valley
Set among beautiful gardens in the magnificent location of the Sacred Valley, Sol y Luna is a charming and comfortable hotel with wonderfully relaxing amenities. Your bungalow, or ‘casita’, is designed with Andean touches and stylish interiors and boasts gorgeous views of the surrounding landscape. Spend your days exploring the Sacred Valley of the Incas where you can partake in exciting activities such as horse riding, bird watching and para-gliding.
Back at Sol y Luna the indulgent spa, sauna and pool is a peaceful place for you to unwind, while the dining consists of a number of Relais & Chateaux member restaurants: Killa Wasi, where Peruvian and European cuisine is served and Wayra, a separate restaurant set in the hotel’s Wayra ranch where Andean cuisine pays homage to the wealth of natural ingredients cultivated in the Sacred Valley since the time of the Incas. There is also a bar, Chicha Wasi, where you can enjoy authentic pisco sours.
The hotel is also recognised for its community initiatives, particularly in education. After 10 years of working with different schools and programs, Sol y Luna opened the Sol y Luna Intercultural School, providing educational services to a number of local students. The hotel recently started another initiative, Sol y Luna Home, which provides a safe home for children without a family or who are victims of violence.
