In the heart of historic Cusco, just moments from the Plaza de Armas, JW Marriott El Convento stands within a beautifully restored 16th-century convent — a building that carries the echoes of Inca foundations, colonial stonework and centuries of Peruvian history.
Inside, 153 refined rooms and suites offer modern comfort — plush beds, marble bathrooms, minibars, and oxygen-enriched air to ease acclimatization at 3,400 metres above sea level. Many look out over ancient Inca walls, the cloistered courtyard or Cusco’s terracotta rooftops, marrying heritage and tranquillity.
The hotel itself is a living museum: two exhibition halls display archaeological finds spanning pre-Inca, Inca and colonial eras, inviting guests to step directly into the fabric of history. Stroll stone-arched corridors, wander the graceful central courtyard, meet the resident alpaca — a charming local character — and soak in the sense of place.
After a day exploring cobbled streets or the surrounding ruins, retreat to the spa for Andean-inspired treatments, or unwind in the heated indoor pool, steam room and sauna. Dining at the hotel’s restaurant and bar showcases refined Peruvian cuisine and local botanicals — a culinary celebration of land and tradition.
