A PROTECTED HISTORIC LANDMARK
Originally the site accommodated the Inca Amaru Qhala’s grand palace before it was converted, at the turn of the 17th century, to a Seminary by the conquering Spanish. That extraordinary building was restored in 1965, to become a magnificent hotel.
Put the Monasterio on the itinerary of your luxury, tailor-made holiday to Peru and you’ll be staying in a historic landmark that is protected by Peru’s National Institute of Culture. You’ll also enjoy one of the country’s foremost hotels; featuring grand entrance doors, a Baroque chapel with saintly pictures framed in gold and a central courtyard with a fountain and a 300 year old cedar tree. Not to mention just about every modern refinement and luxury.
