High in the Andes, more than 3000 metres above sea level, lies the historic city of Cusco, with its unique blend of Spanish and Inca cultures.  At the heart of Cusco is the 16th-century Hotel Monasterio, originally built as a monastery in 1592 and now one of the world's finest hotels.

Hotel Monasterio, an Orient-Express Luxury Hotel, is the ideal base from which to discover Cusco and the ancient ruins at Machu Picchu, which can be reached via a spectacular three-hour train journey.
