PB hotel design editorial

Erected in 1595 as the Seminary of San Antonio Abad, the building at the heart of Cusco's Centro Histórico survived conquest, earthquakes, and the full arc of colonial Peru before Belmond transformed it into Monasterio, a 126-room hotel whose essential character was always going to be determined by what its architects chose not to touch. The decision proved correct. The arcaded cloister, built from pale Andean limestone in the Spanish Renaissance manner, remains the spatial anchor — a formally planted garden at its centre, terracotta-tiled rooflines stepping around it, a single old tree rising above the parterres of clipped box and seasonal flowers exactly as it might have done for the seminary's original occupants. Inside, the interiors layer Cusco School paintings, carved colonial woodwork, and dark cedar four-poster beds against whitewashed plaster walls and terracotta-tiled floors, the weight of ecclesiastical history carried lightly enough that the rooms feel inhabited rather than museological. The vaulted bar — its stone ceiling unchanged from its convent origins — is furnished with red high-backed chairs and elaborate carved timber joinery, candlelight playing across herringbone brick floors and gilded frames. The restaurant runs along the cloister arcade, draped in white linen curtains that soften the cut-stone columns without concealing them. What the conversion understood, and what makes the property still worth the pilgrimage, is that the architecture already contained everything the design needed.

Monasterio, A Belmond Hotel Reviews

"Ok where to start. As soon as your greeted at the doors and walk in the magic begins. You see a beautiful courtyard and you walk back in time and can see all the elegance. Your greeted with pure warmth and your given a little history tour of the incredible hotel your about to enjoy. Even the way you’re given your key makes the experience special. Before I continue my review we had the honor and pleasure of meeting Edson who took incredible care of my wife and I and gave us an experience that we will cherish forever. He recommended varios restaurants and made our reservations. He also sent to our room various treats. He is the definition of hospitality. So if you stay at this hotel ask for him and I’m sure he will make your stay better than imagined. This hotels attention to detail is impeccable the art,furniture and construction just immerses you back in time. The location is perfect and even though there’s a big city outside the walls while inside the property it’s pure peace. The breakfast and restaurants on property are great and the service all around the hotel is unbelievable. This has to be one or if not the best hotel stay I’ve ever had. Oh and before I forget you have to visit the chapel on property it is amazing."

"The entire stay felt special. From the ringing of the bell to announce our arrival to the upgraded suite on our final evening after returning from our excursion to Machu Picchu, we enjoyed the thoughtful touches and excellent service."
