This Is The Place to Stay!

If I could give this place more stars than five, I would do so! Everything was wonderful. Whether it was the friendliness of staff, the comfort of the beds or the spacious rooms, it was all perfect. These people remember your name and open the door when you exit the facility. One of the real gems is the breakfast buffet. So many options! Start out having them prepare you a tasty omelet. From there you can move on to the myriad of other self serve options to eat. On some evenings they provide a buffet dinner with a show included. This place is more like a resort than a hotel. They have an excellent airport shuttle as well. When you arrive there is a gentleperson waiting for you with a sign with your name written on it. Nothing like feeling special from the gate!
Much better to wait here than at the airport.
The beautiful lobby and efficient staff.
Very comfy and always free tea and cookies available in lobby.
I really enjoyed my stay!

Modern, clean, and spacious hotel rooms, and good location in town and transportation to the airport. Food in the restaurant was good and staff were friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, our room faced the busy boulevard at the front of the hotel, and there was very loud celebratory music across the street until the wee hours (2am) which hindered our sleep. We lodged a complaint the second night, and were given a quiet room down the hall. We appreciated the staff response and our much improved sleep.

I recently had the pleasure of staying at the Sonesta Hotel Cusco, and it was an unforgettable experience! From the moment I arrived, the staff greeted me with warm smiles and exceptional hospitality, making the check-in process seamless. The hotel is beautifully designed, blending modern comfort with local charm. My room was spacious, impeccably clean, and offered stunning views of the surrounding mountains. The cozy bed and well-appointed amenities made it a perfect retreat after a day of exploring the city. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the historic center of Cusco, making it easy to visit iconic sites like Plaza de Armas and Sacsayhuamán. The hotel also offers a delightful breakfast with a variety of delicious options, ensuring that I started each day on the right foot. One of the highlights was the warm and attentive service from the staff. They were always available to provide recommendations and assistance, which made my stay even more enjoyable. I appreciated their knowledge about local attractions and their willingness to help with any requests I had. Overall, my stay at Sonesta Hotel Cusco was exceptional. It perfectly balanced comfort, convenience, and outstanding service. I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cusco, and I look forward to returning on my next trip!
