Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel, Machu Picchu
Machu Picchu, Cuzco [Cusco], Peru · Virtuoso · 2027 benefits
The words ‘unique’ and ‘one-of-a-kind’ are often used with abandon. But when it comes to Sanctuary Lodge, a Belmond Hotel, they couldn’t ring more true. The only hotel adjacent to Machu Picchu, it serves as a gateway to the Inca world. Guests enjoy unrivalled, out-of-hours access to the citadel with expert guidance. Waking before sunrise, they can be the first through the gates. In solitude, the mountains look magnificent emerging from a cloak of mist. For the active, challenging climbs up lesser-trodden paths are rewarded with phenomenal vistas. Bespoke treks and tours take guests off the beaten track to picture-perfect views. The hotel offers the best of both adventure and relaxation. Out…
Its sublime mountaintop location (it is the only hotel situated adjacent to the Machu Picchu ruins) makes Sanctuary Lodge the ideal base for exploring this world-class archaeological site. Watch the sun rise over mountains, then head off for a day of discovery. Enjoy a buffet lunch where oversize windows give way to spectacular views. For cocktails and dinner, enjoy the intimate atmosphere of Tampu, serving delicious international and Peruvian fare. The lodge has a relaxation area perfect for yoga and meditation. Or unwind with relaxing treatments in one of two massage rooms or in the garden facing Huayna Picchu.
