Sonesta Posada del Inca Sacred Valley Review

This handsome ranch-style hotel, recently updated, remains one of the best in the valley, even as its high-end competition has grown. Originally a monastery in the late 1600s and then a hacienda, it was converted into an atmospheric colonial-village-like complex with mountain views and relaxed comfort in 1982. The grounds feature a chapel brought in whole from a provincial town, nice gardens, a good restaurant, and a cool little museum with ancient ceramics and textiles. Room no. 115 in the old section is a nice loft space, and room no. 312 has fantastic windows and superior views. It recently added a nice spa with massages, yoga, sauna, outdoor Jacuzzi, and other treatments. There are mountain bikes for guests' use; and lots of excursion and soft-adventure programs, including rafting, mountain biking, horseback riding, and trips to the salt pans of Maras or the Inca site at Moray, are offered.

Facilities:
Restaurant; bar; spa; lounge; bike rental; 24-hr. room service; laundry service

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
