Travelers looking for first-class service and a dose of cultural heritage need look no further than Palacio del Inka, a completely remodeled classic hotel in Cusco that’s one of Peru For Less’ top five-star picks.

Echoes of an Inca past

Located at the site of one of Cusco’s first luxury lodgings, formerly known as the Libertador, the newly renovated Palacio del Inka has been integrated into the Luxury Collection as part of the Starwood Brand.

Over the course of two years, the hotel has undergone renovations in order to deem it fit for upscale hospitality standards as well as preserve its authentic charm.

The hotel’s rooms were upgraded and its interior redesigned to follow a colonial theme, while keeping original Inca features of the building intact.

Welcome to the beautiful lobby of Palacio del Inka.

Palacio del Inka resides in a 16th century colonial mansion that was built for the conqueror and first governor of Peru, Francisco Pizarro. Constructed on the foundations of the Acllahuasi, the site was once home to the chosen Inca Virgin of the Sun.

Reminders of the hotel’s historical site are evident today. Koricancha, the Golden Temple of the Sun, is located just across the street, while original Inca masonry can be seen in the hotel’s walls across the entrance and restaurant.
