Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge

The Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge offers a truly unique experience among Machu Picchu hotels. This luxury property is the only option for accommodation that is located right in the shadow of the Lost City of the Incas. While other hotels might offer a destination that is not far from the famous archaeological site, none of the other hotels near Machu Picchu are anywhere near this close. The incredible location allows for guests to witness amazing sunrises and unforgettable moonlit views of Machu Picchu. Some travelers might argue that if you're going to plan a trip all the way to these ruins in the Andes, you might as well maximize your experience and stay in the best location possible.

Operated by Orient-Express, Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge offers a luxurious experience complete with a restaurant serving authentic Peruvian food. Surrounded by lush jungle and providing striking views, many journalists and past visitors agree that this is the premiere hotel for visiting Machu Picchu. Beyond offering an incredible location, this hotel also has a long list of services. After a day of hiking, you might want to relax with a massage. Spa services are available right at the hotel. Another excellent service is providing guides. Instead of wandering around the site on your own not knowing what you're looking at, allow a knowledgeable guide to take your trip to the next level.

Guests of the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge often cite the Gardens as one of their favorite features. Located at the back of the main building, and lush with orchids and other flowers, the Gardens are a popular spot for breakfast or a glass of afternoon champagne. Another top feature that guests have praised is the boutique atmosphere. Unlike other hotels near Machu Picchu, which can be quite large, this lodge has only 29 rooms and two suites. That means that the hotel will never feel crowded. There are four categories of rooms at this hotel: a standard room, mountain view room, mountain view room with terrace, or a suite. Depending on your budget and availability, you can choose among these options.

If you still aren't convinced about booking a stay at the Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, perhaps the Tampu Restaurant Bar will be the finishing touch. Beyond offering incredible, Andean-inspired cuisine, this restaurant is also special for the outstanding views it offers. No restaurant is a more romantic place to celebrate a special occasion than the Tampu Restaurant. Room service is also available for those nights where you just want to relax in your room or on the terrace and enjoy the atmosphere in peace.

One last factor that might place Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge over other hotels near Machu Picchu is the vacation packages they offer. From a celebration package that includes accommodation, champagne, and massages to an advanced purchase offer that will earn you a discount, there are several ways to get the best value out of your stay at this luxurious hotel. Many people only get one opportunity in their lifetimes to visit Machu Picchu-why not stay in the hotel with the best views and access to the ruins?
