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."
