Awarded the number one JW hotel globally, the JW Marriott El Convento is one of the most luxurious hotels in Cusco.

As the name suggests, the historic building used to be a colonial convent before it was renovated into a five-star hotel.

With Cusco’s cathedral and main square only 3 blocks away, this property boasts impressive interiors and a colonial courtyard. In addition, the hotel features two exhibition halls where ancient Peruvian cultural artifacts can be seen.

To help you acclimatize to the high altitude in Cusco, there are oxygen-enriched rooms available in all room categories.

• The 'Inca Wall' rooms of the JW Marriott are located underground and therefore only offer a view of the antique exposed bricks.
• Our recommendation would be to book one of the higher room categories such as the 'Classic Inca' rooms which allow guests to gaze upon the 16th-century San Agustin Convent.
• Take part in one of the hotel’s historic tours of their exhibition halls.
• Make sure you have one day at leisure at the hotel to take advantage of all the hotel’s amenities.
• Don’t forget to spend some quality time in the hotel spa. With a heated relaxation pool, Jacuzzi, sauna, massage room, and yoga studio, you will be fully rejuvenated after visiting Machu Picchu.
• Finally, stop and say hi to the hotel’s resident Alpaca ‘Panchita’ before continuing your journey.
