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.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
From the first conversation to the final day of our trip, Catherine and the team were helpful, efficient and easy to reach. Their recommendations not only improved our original plans but also made the whole holiday more cost-effective. Even when we needed assistance while away, their response was immediate. We wouldn’t hesitate to travel with them again.
