A 16th-century colonial manor turned 11-suite Relais & Châteaux hideaway. In the heart of historic Cusco, Inkaterra La Casona delivers old-world grandeur, heated marble-bath suites, intimate dining and soothing spa rituals.
16th-century manor once home to conquistadors and libertadors, restored with exquisite respect for original architecture and heritage
With only 11 suites, the atmosphere is that of a private residence: quiet, exclusive, and personalised
Marble-floored bathrooms, fireplaces, heated floors, plush baths and fine antique furnishings deliver refined Andean hospitality
Nestled in the historic core of Cusco, it offers effortless access to colonial plazas, San Blas artisans, markets and the launch point for Inca-era adventures
In the cobbled alleyways near Plaza de las Nazarenas, La Casona stands as one of Cusco’s most storied addresses — a 16th-century mansion once inhabited by conquistadors, lovingly restored to reveal centuries of history woven into its stone walls, carved beams and original murals.
Inside this graceful manor, just 11 individually appointed suites surround a tranquil colonial courtyard, offering a deeply private retreat. Rich woodwork, carved doors, fireplaces, under-floor heating and lavish marble bathrooms combine with subtle modern comforts to create a sense of refined sophistication that feels more like a private residence than a hotel.
When the day’s explorations end, the serene Yacu spa invites restful indulgence with bespoke treatments rooted in local tradition and natural ingredients. Elsewhere on the property, the intimate dining room and candle-lit terrace showcase Andean-inspired cuisine crafted from regional produce — the ideal way to savour Cusco by candlelight.
Step outside and you are immediately immersed in the rhythm of Cusco: historic churches, artisan workshops and markets, narrow streets echoing with centuries of culture, all just beyond La Casona’s heavy wooden doors. It is the perfect starting point for journeys to the Sacred Valley, the Andean highlands or the citadel of Machu Picchu.
