Hotel San Agustín Monasterio de la Recoleta ReviewClose to Urubamba, just off the main road, is this charming and rustic hotel inhabiting parts of a 16th-century Franciscan monastery. The parts of the hotel that have been renovated are of a level to compete with many of the nicest properties in the Sacred Valley; the hotel's full restoration, though, has proceeded slowly, and still-to-be renovated rooms aren't in the same class. The remodeled rooms have outstanding views and remains of original Inca walls, and they greatly surpass the original, far simpler rooms. Services are still somewhat limited compared to other top-end hotels in the region, however. Climb up to the bell tower above the old chapel for great views of the valley. A nearby sister property, Hotel Urubamba (tel. 084/201-444) is similar, and priced exactly the same, though it's somewhat less inviting. Facilities: Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip. Related Features

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.
