Fodor's Expert Review Palacio Nazarenas

A former palace and convent dating from the 18th century, Palacio Nazarenas, located just off the Plaza de Armas, is one of Cusco's most glamorous hotels, featuring spacious, locally inspired suites surrounding seven cloistered terraces. Each room is enriched with oxygen (upon request, no fee) to assist with altitude acclimatization and features a satellite TV, complimentary Wi-Fi, and an iPad preloaded with a city guide and hotel information. Deluxe suites, known as the Z Collection, include original Inca and colonial features, special views, and/or beautiful balconies. Additional luxuries on the property include Cusco's first heated outdoor pool and a sensational restaurant and bar specializing in fine regional cuisine. The authentic Andean- and Incan-inspired spa uses therapeutic, organic local ingredients like pink Andean salt, purple corn, honey, coffee, and coca leaves.
