Sanctuary Lodge, A Belmond Hotel, Machu Picchu
Created in the Seventies as a government-run lodging, today the Sanctuary is a Belmond (formerly Orient Express) hotel; meaning that while the rooms aren’t overly large, they are comfortable and well-appointed, and the service rivals that on offer in many a big-city luxury hotel. One restaurant serves a buffet lunch to all comers, including day-trippers, while another is for the exclusive use of hotel guests, serving slightly more upmarket Peruvian and international fare.
Guided tours of the ruins are available, of course, and can be arranged by the hotel, which recommends two full days to properly take it all in. Nights are cold, and the rainy season runs from November to March — be prepared to dress accordingly.
How to get there:
A 3.5-hour train trip takes passengers from Cusco to Aguas Calientes, and from there it’s a half-hour bus ride up the mountain to the Belmond Sanctuary Lodge. To travel from Cusco to the hotel by foot along the old Inca trail, allow four or five days. There are no taxis from Machu Picchu Town to the Machu Picchu Citadel; the only form of transportation is on public buses.
