PB hotel design editorial

Strung along the bank of the Urubamba River at roughly 2,800 metres above sea level, where the Sacred Valley floor narrows between near-vertical Andean slopes, Rio Sagrado — a Belmond property — was conceived less as a building than as a settlement, its terracotta-roofed casitas stepping up the hillside in loose clusters that echo the agricultural terracing visible on the surrounding mountains. The low-slung structures are built from local stone and timber, their pitched roofs and rough-plastered walls drawing on the vernacular architecture of the Quechua highlands rather than importing an international luxury grammar onto a landscape that would reject it. Inside, the interiors strike a balance between Andean craft and quiet contemporary comfort. Exposed eucalyptus log beams span bedroom ceilings, dark hardwood floors run throughout, and beds are dressed with handwoven textile runners in the saturated reds and golds of traditional Cusqueño weaving. Floor-to-ceiling sliding glass walls give every room an unobstructed connection to the gardens or the valley beyond — a device that keeps the surrounding mountains continuously present. The restaurant carries the same material warmth: wide-plank timber floors, a heavy log-truss ceiling, and red velvet dining chairs that introduce a note of polish without disrupting the lodge-like register. The property's 21 rooms and suites are arranged to feel genuinely dispersed across the landscape, the pool terrace edged in dry-stacked stone and shaded by pale canvas umbrellas, the Urubamba audible throughout.

Rio Sagrado, A Belmond Hotel Reviews

"This is another incredible Belmond property! I only wish we had stayed there longer. Our train from Machu Picchu was delayed, so we didn’t really get settled until 10:30 pm and were exhausted by then and just went to bed. So we only had a couple hours before we had to check out to experience this awesome hotel. From the short time we were there, we were very impressed with the spacious and well-appointed rooms with, the lovely breakfast overlooking the peaceful view of the river, and the kind and attentive staff. We also loved seeing the baby alpacas being fed! This is a hotel we would definitely return to if ever in the Sacred Valley again. It would be great to spend 2-3 nights here and just soak in the relaxing atmosphere."

"Officially our 1st stop on our Peru tour - a quick 1 hour flight from Lima and another 90min drive from Cusco to the Sacred Valley. It was a very interesting drive (shortcuts to avoid main roads). But the destination was so worth the anticipation. At Belmond Hotel Rio Sagrado we found our little piece of paradise. It’s peaceful. Tranquil. And the perfect place to acclimate to the new altitude of approx 2700m above sea level. I’d strongly suggest not staying in Cusco and spending all your time doing day trips (and hours in a shuttle) to explore the Sacred Valley. Rather stay here and explore at a leisurely pace - with all the key “must see” spots fairly close"

"We loved our stay at Rio Sagrado. The space is incredibly peaceful, the river/mountain setting is idyllic. All the staff were AMAZING - nothing was too much trouble. Would highly recommend this hotel. A must on your travels. Oh and being able to feed the resident Alpacas was a super highlight, they just wander which always put a smile on our face. Thank you for sharing your peace of paradise with us."

"It is hard to imagine there is a more beautiful property in the Sacred Valley. If you are going to Machu Pichu, don't have a tight budget, the Rio Segrado+Hriam Bingham train ride is THE best combo you can make during your visit. 22 rooms of paradise. Add the Dany and Sabrina smiles in dining and the front desk "how can I help" Julio and you get a sense of the staff. VERY accommodating. Clean, spacious, over the top in appointment this Belmond property will make me shop the brand during future travels. Impressive. Food is only outdone by the grounds on where you eat. Just beautiful and plenty of space to relax and chill. Just gorgeous. Beat the "high altitude" issue of Cusco by making your first nights to this region in the Sacred Valley and ONLY at the Rio Segrado. Muy Bien!"
