A boutique hotel a short walk from Cusco’s main square.

The X.O Art Hotel is owned and operated by one of Peru’s luxury trekking specialists, who pride themselves on their impeccable service and warm hospitality. The property is a converted casona, a large traditional home from the Spanish colonial era, and is in San Blas, Cusco’s flourishing arts quarter.

The seven rooms are individually decorated and showcase the works of notable contemporary Cusquenan artists while offering comfortable accommodation and high-tech amenities.

Gary in Manchu Pichu, Peru
Gary Tombs - Product & Marketing

Having travelled extensively across the rest of the world in his twenties, it wasn’t until he was nearly 30 that Gary finally discovered what he had been missing with his first foray into the wilds of Latin America. He has been addicted ever since and, in his role as Product Manager, now combines this personal obsession with many years of industry experience to help ensure that other travellers will fall for the region every bit as much as he has.
