Where to stay in Cusco

Mountain Lodges of Peru, Cusco region Four eco-conscious lodges built in 2006 and 2007 along the Salkantay Trail to Machu Picchu are the accommodations for a seven-day itinerary from and back to Cusco. The plan was to have each lodge seem embedded in the environment—to be part of the surroundings rather than a disruption. For example, the first lodge—the Salkantay Lodge and Adventure Resort—sits on an important pilgrimage site and was designed to reflect an Inca palace. Food served at all four lodges. 30 rooms (in four lodges); from $5,700 for a seven-day, lodge-to-lodge trek, all-inclusive.

Tambo del Inka, Urubamba A contemporary hotel and spa infused with the color, texture, and spirit of Inca culture. Plush rooms are situated with marvelous views of the Andes and Vilcanota River. Operating under LEEDcertification standards, the hotel’s high-bar eco-practices include maintaining a water treatment system that recycles water for garden use. Ten hotel shops designated for local artisans to display and sell handicrafts. Impeccable service. Restaurant. Spa. Indoor pool. 128 rooms; from $385.

Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, Cusco Twelve acres of the cloud forest were restored during the construction of this boutique property. Built by artisans using local materials, and constructed to resemble a traditional Andean village. Hotel grounds blend into the natural ecosystem alive with 192 species of birds, 111 species of butterflies, 372 orchid species, and other lush flora. On-site nature excursions included. Offsite visits to museums and markets, or hikes to the Inca Trail and Machu Picchu may be arranged. 85 rooms; from $498.

Casa Cartagena, Cusco Mid-17th-century architecture plus up-the-the-minute creature comforts in one of Cusco's most elegant neighborhoods. (Writer Pablo Neruda once lived in this rambling home.) Not only is there a wealth of historic sites to explore in the area; the steep-cobblestone-alley neighborhood of San Blas—filled with artists and their workshops—is a short walk away. An oxygen-enrichment system (costs extra) helps guests acclimate to the high altitude. Spa. Restaurant. 16 suites; from $330, incl. breakfast, sauna, hydromassage, daily aperitif and hors d'oeuvres, Wi-Fi, local phone calls.
