Tierra Viva Machu Picchu
The growing Peruvian chain Tierra Viva has set up shop in Aguas Calientes at the site of the former Hatuchay Tower hotel on the banks of the Vilcanota River. The straightforward rooms are decorated with contemporary Andean art and open up to a five-floor lobby atrium centered by an elevator tower painted with colorful Andean city scenes. Overall, the sleek and modern property feels more like an urban boutique hotel than in a village with no roads leading out. Rack rates tend to be rather overpriced, though online rates can be as much as 25% off.
