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.

"My husband and I have had a wonderful and memorable 5-day stay at Monasterio.The hotel itself is beyond words - absolutely stunning and top-notch in terms of amenities, dining, and location. However, our stay would not have been as wonderful without the superb service of the staff. They are welcoming, warm, kind, knowledgeable, and professional—they care deeply about the guest experience. On our last night at the hotel, it was sad for us to leave as we felt like we were leaving friends. The folks at El Tupay even presented us with a special dessert to thank us for visiting. It was very touching and we appreciated it their thoughtfulness. If we ever return to Peru, we will definitely stay at the Monasterio again, mainly due to the experience these individuals provided. If friends or family visit Peru, we will not hesitate to recommend Monasterio."

"The service at Monasterio was absolutely wonderful. I would say it was the highlight of our entire stay in Peru! From our very first morning, the staff made us feel incredibly well-cared for. Each interaction felt warm, personal and sincere, especially at breakfast. Our waiters were attentive and anticipated our needs before we even had to ask—our cups of coffee were never empty! I was struggling a bit with the elevation, so a waiter named Dario served me coca tea each morning to help with my altitude sickness symptoms. He even thoughtfully prepared a to-go cup and other treats for the road to make sure I stayed comfortable. Another waiter, Soncco, took the time to give us a brief tour of the hotel grounds. He shared fascinating stories about the former monastery’s history and architecture that made our breakfast feel like more than just a meal. It is rare to find a team so committed to their guests; they treated us with such kindness that we felt more like welcomed friends than hotel guests. Thank you, Dario and Soncco!"

"Our stay at the Monasterio Hotel was truly unforgettable. From the moment we arrived, the entire team treated us with incredible warmth and professionalism, making us feel genuinely welcome throughout our stay. A special mention to Bryan Cárdenas, who was always attentive and ensured that everything was perfect for us. His kindness and dedication made a lasting impression. Thanks to him and the wonderful team, our experience was far more than just a hotel stay — it was something truly special."

"Beautifully maintained old-world monastery. Invited Entrance through the chapel. Awestruck by the grounds and courtyard. The breakfast buffet was incomparable. Staff were attentive to every need. I doubt there is another hotel like this in the world! Truly blessed to have this once-in-a- lifetime experience!"
