PB hotel design editorial

Scattered across a cloud forest hillside above the Urubamba River, where the jungle presses close enough to touch the eaves, Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel was conceived from the outset not as a building but as a village — a loose constellation of 83 casitas arranged along stone pathways threading through five hectares of certified private reserve. Founded by José Koechlin von Stein in 1975 and developed incrementally over the following decades, the property draws its architectural language from the vernacular hacienda tradition of highland Peru: whitewashed adobe walls, rough-hewn log beams laid across ceilings in dense grids, terracotta tile floors, and scrolled ironwork headboards that sit comfortably between colonial craft and contemporary ease. The restaurant pavilion, visible from the exterior as a glowing lantern against the mountain at dusk, uses an exposed timber post-and-beam structure with clerestory glazing to dissolve the boundary between dining room and forest canopy, wicker pendant lights suspended from the rafters as the only ornament. In the casitas, the material palette stays close to earth — stone fireplaces cut from rough granite, brightly woven Andean textiles laid across white linen as insistent bursts of color, low-slung wooden furniture with the weight of regional craft behind it. The bar pavilion pushes deeper into tradition, its steeply pitched thatched roof supported by a complex trellis of unpeeled poles, the geometry somewhere between a colonial chapel and a highland community hall. Nothing here tries to look contemporary; the effect is closer to living archaeology than resort design.

Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel Reviews

3,474 reviews

"The hotel is located in a beautiful setting surrounded by nature and enjoys a very convenient location within the city, right next to the train station. It is also clean. Unfortunately, the positive aspects end there. There were several serious issues that, in our opinion, make the room rates completely unjustified. 
Construction work is currently taking place at the hotel, with drilling noise audible throughout the day. Guests should be informed of this in advance so they can decide whether they still wish to proceed with their reservation. Furthermore, a substantial discount should be offered given the disturbance caused.
The food quality was unacceptable and fell far below the standards expected from a hotel in this price range.
The staff we encountered in the common areas of the hotel were rude and unfriendly. We have stayed in many hotels and have never experienced such poor customer service. The pool was not clean and appeared to be poorly maintained.
On our last day, we were wrongly accused of taking a bathrobe from the room, when in reality the issue resulted from the hotel’s own mistake. Such accusations are highly unprofessional and left a very unpleasant impression.
One of the rooms had a noticeable musty smell, which negatively affected our stay.
 Overall, while the location and surroundings are excellent, the numerous issues we experienced do not justify the prices charged by the hotel."

"Rather outdated with a very old-fashioned atmosphere. Very outdated restaurant. Extremely touristic. Look for alternatives for this budget."

"We had an overnight stay here to visit Machu Picchu. We arrived by train from Ollantaytambo. Our room was not ready so we left our bags and went for a walk through their extensive grounds/gardens which was lovely. We saw lots of hummingbirds while sitting by the pool area. We met our guide for our first Circuit (2B) of Machu Picchu. We had booked a Superior room (including dinner and breakfast box as we had a 6am entry to MP the next morning). Our room was comfortable and clean. Dinner at the hotel restaurant (separate from the hotel and you have to walk across the train line which is no real trouble) was good. They held our bags following checkout and until our train to Cusco the next afternoon. The hotel is minutes walk to the train station and bus to the Machu Picchu site. Plenty of cafes, restaurants and shops around it. We completed Circuits 2B, 1B and 3B of Machu Picchu - all very worthwhile for this once in a lifetime visit."
