Plaza de Armas is worth passing through for a few pics when in Cusco Historic Center. Why not live the cultural experience and visit the cathedral, museums, and churches in the area— your sightseeing tour starts here.
If massages and hot tubs are your thing, you might want to pamper yourself at Aguas Calientes Hot Springs, a popular spa located 0.4 mi (0.6 km) from central Aguas Calientes. Why not take a stroll along the riverfront and watch the sunset while you're here?
If you like strolling among the stalls, you might want to head out to San Pedro Market in Cusco Historic Center and take in the atmosphere. Splash some more cash at Santiago Plaza, Cusco Craft Center, and Wanchaq Market.

Sonesta Hotel Cusco
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice stay. Everyone was so nice and friendly. I received a welcome drink and cookie upon arrival. My room was very cleaned and comfy. The breakfast was good as well. Really enjoyed the fact they started breakfast early for those that had early excursions"
"
The hotel was amazing – very beautiful and well-designed. The staff were extremely polite and did their best to provide excellent service. Breakfast was delicious, and having a jacuzzi in the room was perfect after long hikes. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and the location is also very convenient.

"The staff were the friendliest we experienced in our two week trip to Peru. The free breakfast was also the best out of the five hotels we stayed in during our trip."
Palacio del Inka, A Luxury Collection Hotel by Marriott
10/10 Excellent
"This was an experience like no other and exceptional in every way. Staff were extremely helpful, courteous and professional. The building itself is like a museum (it actually was until the 1970s!) so expect to see genuine historical art on the walls, remnants of Inka stonework, original colonial architecture. The restaurant is excellent for breakfast lunch or dinner. We only stayed one night here for my birthday and the hotel sent up a birthday cake to the room!! I was blown away. I’ve never paid this much for a room in my life but it was 100% worth the price point. If they offer you a discounted upgrade, take it!! I’ve never been in such an opulent room and the name of the hotel is apt - Inka Palace - I felt like royalty. Handy to know: the hotel is steps from some excellent shops, ruins and restaurants. There is an ATM in the lobby and the front desk will break large notes for you. Absolutely exceptional. When I’m next in Cusco I will definitely be back! Hopefully for a longer stay!!"
"Excellent value for the money. Excellent staff, good space for dining, lounge.
Convenient location, safe.
Had two different rooms. First a classic triple, spacious, big bathroom. But window to corridor above bed ?! made it hard to sleep, plus could hear anyone walking in corridor.
Second was deluxe studio with nice jacuzzi. Much better for sleeping.
Breakfast excellent due to fresh fruits.
Guests apparently from a wide variety of countries, practical types.
Were very happy staying there. "
"Nice hotel. Close to a lot of restaurants and shop. Easy walk to attractions as well and the hotel staff connected us with tours and taxis. Highly recommended!"
