Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel

The last town before Machu Picchu tends to lower your expectations considerably, which makes Sumaq a small shock. This 60-room hotel is dressed in Inca art and handsome objects, the rooms facing the river valley have views that compete with the ruins themselves, and a spa is on hand for the legs you've destroyed on the trail. The cocktail bar, for its part, takes a pisco sour seriously.
