Frommer's "Still Cusco's most extraordinary place to stay, though competition is on the rise, this beautiful hotel occupies the San Antonio Abad monastery." Full review
Concierge "Born as the 16th-century seminary of San Antonio Abad (itself built on the site of a former Inca palace), the Monasterio is one of Peru's most gorgeous hotels."
Fodor's "One of Cusco's top hotels, this beautifully restored 1592 monastery of San Antonio Abad is a national historic monument." Full review
Lonely Planet "Arranged around graceful 16th-century cloisters, the five-star Monasterio has long been Cuzco’s jewel, with majestic public areas and over 100 rooms surrounding genteel courtyards." Full review
DK Eyewitness "Undoubtedly Cusco’s most luxurious hotel with prices to match. Set in a restored 400-year-old monastery, rooms encircle a stone courtyard adorned with an old cedar tree."

"A national historic landmark, this sixteenth-century former seminary just blocks from the city center has "the serenity and luxury of the lovely monastery grounds"." Full review

Travel + Leisure "Deluxe Room 410 has a high, exquisitely decorated ceiling, plus supplemental oxygen to ward off altitude sickness." Full review
Jetsetter "Historic hotel blocks from Cusco's Plaza de Armas, with two restaurants and oxygen-enriched rooms." Full review
Star Service "Occupying a corner of an idyllic square, up a steep side street two blocks north of Plaza de Armas and near two quality museums, this is Peru's most engaging colonial hotel." Full review

For those with altitude adjustment problems, request a room that is equipped to have oxygen pumped in at night (an additional $50 fee).
