The Best Hotels Near Sol y Luna, by the Record
-
Nine rooms, each with a private terrace and a wall of Andean peaks, sets the scale for this small boutique hotel tucked into the Sacred Valley between Pisac and Urubamba. Locally crafted decor and organic bath products keep things grounded in the region rather than generic luxury. The in-house restaurant leans on local ingredients, and Machu Picchu is close enough for a day trip without the hotel feeling like a staging post for one.
-
A rehabilitated Spanish colonial manor in the heart of old Cusco, La Casona holds just eleven suites, which means no one is elbowing past you in the lobby on the way to Machu Picchu. Heavy carved doors, stone fireplaces, and underfloor heating give it the feel of a very well-appointed private house. Spa treatments and private Andean guides are on offer, and if you have the budget and the friends, you can book the whole place. Michelin awarded it 2 Keys.

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.
