- Country Club (Lima): This grande dame was built in 1927 and has been a center of Limeño high society ever since. Fronting the exclusive Lima Golf Club, this classic hacienda-style hotel is decorated with artwork on loan from one of the city’s finest museums, plus swanky leather chairs and stained-glass windows.
- Hotel B (Lima): Originally built for a prominent Lima family by a renowned French architect as a seaside retreat, this Belle Epoque mansion is now Barranco’s hippest hotel. The art-filled property, attached to Lima’s hottest gallery, has helped redefine the city’s hotel scene.
- Hotel Monasterio (Cusco): Simply put, this is one of the world’s great hotels. Set in a former monastery that dates to 1592, a national monument, it was built over an Inca palace. From the Baroque chapel to the cloistered courtyard to the Spanish colonial artwork, every turn makes you feel like you are in a living museum.
- Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel (Machu Picchu): Few realize that the area surrounding Machu Picchu is such diverse cloud forest. This upscale ecolodge makes sure you know by the time you leave, with its 372 different native species of orchids, spectacled bear rehabilitation project, and cock-of-the-rock lek.
- La Casona (Cusco): This 16th-century manor house turned boutique hotel once hosted to Spanish conquistador Diego de Almagro and liberator Simón Bolívar. Today there are just 11 immaculate suites, decorated with original murals and antique furnishings, that surround a Spanish courtyard.
- Libertador Tambo del Inka (Sacred Valley): Designed by iconic Lima architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia, this cushy Urubamba property has upped the hotel game in the Sacred Valley. Aside from one of the largest spas in the entire region, it has an indoor/outdoor pool and its own rail station to Machu Picchu.
- Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge (Machu Picchu): There is one reason why this hotel makes this list: Machu Picchu. It’s literally right outside. While all of the other nearby hotels are down in the village below, here you can see the ruins from some of the bedroom windows. It’s just you and the people who have hiked the Inca Trail who are first in line for a sunrise visit.
- Skylodge Adventure Suites (Sacred Valley): You need to climb or zipline to get into these glass capsules on the side of a mountain. Each suite has a private bathroom and runs on solar power. It’s the world’s first hanging lodge, and it offers absolutely spectacular 300-degree views of the Sacred Valley.
- Villa Barranco (Lima): Set within the bohemian district of Barranco’s leafy streets, a beautiful restoration was undertaken to make this Republican-era house one of Lima’s top boutique properties. Just nine rooms can be reserved here, so intimacy is guaranteed.
- Westin Hotel & Convention Center (Lima): For a time, this glitzy glass tower was the tallest building in all of Peru, only to be eclipsed by one next door. Lima’s most modern hotel is a wonder, with state-of-the-art electronics, smart technology, and a forward-thinking wellness program.
