'Sleep where Spanish conquistadors once prayed - this stunning hotel occupies a 16th-century convent just steps from Machu Picchu's gateway.'
What's Special?
The JW Marriott El Convento Cusco is built within the walls of the historic Convent of San Agustín, seamlessly blending 500-year-old colonial architecture with luxury amenities. Located at 11,200 feet above sea level, it's one of the world's highest luxury hotels. The property features original stone archways, courtyards, and frescoes alongside oxygen-enriched rooms to help guests adjust to Cusco's altitude.
WhatAHotel! Pro-Tip: Arrive 2-3 days before your Machu Picchu visit to acclimatize properly. The hotel's oxygen-enriched rooms and coca tea service will help ease altitude adjustment while you explore Cusco's incredible Inca and colonial heritage.
