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.

"I had an exceptional stay at this hotel from start to finish. The property itself is beautiful, impeccably maintained, and thoughtfully designed, but what truly sets it apart is the level of service. The concierge team headed up by Edson was outstanding—knowledgeable, responsive, and genuinely invested in making every aspect of my stay seamless. From securing reservations to offering thoughtful recommendations, they went above and beyond in a way that felt both effortless and personal. Every interaction with the staff reflected a high standard of professionalism and warmth. It’s rare to find a place that combines luxury with such attentive, intuitive service. I would absolutely return and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a truly elevated experience."

"I have traveled all over the world, to many of the best hotels, however Monasterio tops them all. The staff here, from top to bottom, is absolutely exceptional! Their kindness and attention to detail is unparalleled! The rooms are exquisitely furnished and so comfortable. The food here is simple, yet so sophisticated with simply all the best ingredients Peru has to offer! EVERY detail here is thought out and extremely well executed. I cannot wait to return to this wonderful property!"

"Gorgeous hotel in Cusco which was a former Jesuit seminary. You can’t tell from the outside but once you step through the doors, you are transported into a luxurious hotel which has retained much of the original architecture. And it has character, which is often lacking in most chain hotels. Service is warm and impeccable. The 2 on-site restaurants serve excellent food. We are very happy with our stay and was sad to leave."
