Casa Del Sol Machu Picchu

Elegant, welcoming and socially conscious riverside hotel, offering stylish, luxury accommodation and exceptional cuisine in a very convenient and scenic location.

The elegant, socially conscious Casa del Sol Machu Picchu hotel is the latest addition to the portfolio of Peruvian-owned Casa del Sol properties. Though we don't strictly agree with its self-designation as a boutique hotel, it is certainly a welcome upmarket addition to the clutch of hotels in Machu Picchu village below the ruins, as its exceptional reviews attest.

Painted in earthy tones and strewn with alpaca throws, the guestrooms incorporate abundant polished wood, discreet works of traditionally-inspired art and floor to ceiling windows. Bathrooms are strikingly original in design, and the suites even have a hot tub on a glass-fronted terrace overlooking the fast-flowing Vilcanota river.

Many guests have commented on how pleasant it is to fall asleep to the sound of the river, but should you need any more help relaxing there is a spa with a hydrotherapy pool, dry sauna and steam and massage rooms. There is also an excellent restaurant, offering exquisitely presented gourmet food in relaxed surroundings.
