Rio Sagrado, A Belmond Hotel

The Urubamba River, sacred to the Incas, runs right past this Belmond resort in the Sacred Valley, which turns out not to be a branding decision. Nineteen rooms and suites are arranged to recall a traditional Andean village, their materials blending into the hillside rather than announcing themselves. The restaurant leans on an on-site garden, a small spa handles the unwinding, and most guests spend their days exploring the valley by foot, horseback, or water. It holds a Michelin Key.
