Highlights

Location: 400 meters from Plaza de Armas

Rooms: one queen size bed

Dining: fresh seasonal fruits

Common Areas: infusion station with coca tea

“The colonial architecture and vibrant gardens struck me as a peaceful escape in the artistic San Blas district, a perfect counterpoint to the bustling city. I particularly appreciated the readily available tea, a thoughtful touch after exploring Cusco's high altitude streets. Though close to the square, be prepared for narrow roads.”
