Aranwa Cusco Boutique Hotel

In the heart of Cusco’s historic center, a short walk from Plaza de Armas and the Museum of Contemporary Art. Housed in a 16th-century colonial mansion on San Juan de Dios Street, this luxury boutique hotel doubles as a hotel-museum surrounded by lush gardens.

Forty-three individually decorated rooms feature heated floors, memory-foam beds with Egyptian cotton sheets, and private bathrooms with jetted bathtubs. The property showcases Cusco school paintings, colonial sculptures and carvings, plus an elegant spa and an attached winery. Rooms offer minibars, TVs and turndown service; some comforts include an in-room oxygen system for better rest at altitude.

Recharge in the spa, sip on local vintages at the attached winery, or take in the view from the terrace. The lobby has a fireplace and daily complimentary reception; complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Other practical perks include concierge and tour assistance, a doctor on call, luggage storage, elevator access, laundry and dry cleaning.

A 24-hour business center and a 24-hour front desk support meetings and last-minute needs. Airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and wedding services are offered on site.

Dine at Mishti Mestizo Restaurant, which highlights local cuisine, or grab a drink at the bar/lounge. A complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily from 6:00 AM to 10:00 AM, and room service is available during limited hours.
