Tambo del Inka Resort & Spa
In terms of sheer luxury in the Sacred Valley, this Starwood Luxury Collection property designed by the celebrated Lima architect Bernardo Fort-Brescia is at the top. What’s perhaps the hotel’s biggest achievement is that it’s not some out-of-place, modernist monstrosity, but that it only subtly stands out along the Urubamba riverfront in the middle of town. With nods to Inca design motifs and soaring two-story windows in common areas that take in the sacred apus, the contemporary interiors manage to be sumptuous and culturally aware. The rooms feature earthy tones and every top-of-the-line amenity you can think of. Aside from the hotel’s own train station for service direct to Machu Picchu, the hotel’s best features are a dramatic indoor/outdoor lap pool and one of the region’s top spas with an extensive, impressive water circuit.
