Lock in a great price for Belmond Sanctuary Lodge – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Very comfortable, exceptional staff, close proximity to ruins, set up to let one truly take advantage of the amenities as long as possible.

Dorothy, United States of America

The service here goes above and beyond. It is excellent. My brother and I were upgraded to a suite. The property is absolutely stunning and right next to the entrance to Machu Picchu. They have showers for use after you have checked out, and have still hiked around Machu Picchu. The property is very relaxing and the food is fabulous. It's expensive and worth every penny.

Kathleen, United States of America

The location of the property is amazing. I would only stay here if I return.

Erin, Canada

The location is 100% the reason to stay at this property. As the only hotel at the top of Machu Picchu this is really a luxury that if you can afford, it is worth paying. We stayed only one night and ended up entering Machu Picchu twice. Staying within a 2 min walk to the main entrance of MP really makes all the difference. No long line ups at the bottom of the hill (25 mins away) exposed to all the elements just to line up with 500+ people to enter the site.

Yasmine, United Kingdom

Definitely the location is the main factor! It saved me lots of time to get down to Aquas Calientes which allowed me to explore the park with no rush. The hotel is super clean and staff are super nice. And I LOVE their garden which is very well maintained and very spiritual!!! It attracts so many hummingbirds flying around and the energy is AMAZING!!! Dinner menu is FANCY and highly recommended!!!

Yungtsung, United States of America

Proximity to Macchu Picchu entrance and comfort of a 5 star hotel. We received an upgrade to a patio room which was bigger then usual.

Elizabeth, Singapore

The location is great, directly at the front door of Mach Pichu Park. Food and Drinks are good and expensive, as there is also no alternative. The Benedict Egg was excellent, a lot of local good dishes. We also enjoyed the Pisco Sour lesson by Victor at 18:00, also excellent service in the restaurant by Arthur.

Bernard_ak, Germany

Excellent location， located just at the entrance of Machupicchu. Delicious food. Full board highly recommended.

Xiaojia, China

Location, vieuw from room, comfortable bed and friendly staff. Expensive but location justifies that!

Willem, Curaçao

The staff are terrific, very helpful and friendly. The location cannot be beat- it is a harrowing 25 minute bus ride from Aguas Calientes to MP, not one I wanted to do more than once (or you can hike up). It was so relaxing to know that we were literally steps from the front gate of MP. The restaurant and bar are great - the food is excellent.

- • Leisure trip

눉The actual hotel was average is all ways you would expect, (size of the room, bed, other amenities) and did not warrant the extravagant price tag. The Food dacoities however, were quite good, and we did enjoy the Pisco sour tasting on offer.
눇The location is 100% the reason to stay at this property. As the only hotel at the top of Machu Picchu this is really a luxury that if you can afford, it is worth paying.

눉Around 5pm each night, the housing service offers their repellent in each guest room. It smells good but causes some irritation in my throat. So I ask them not to give me one for the second night.
눇Definitely the location is the main factor! It saved me lots of time to get down to Aquas Calientes which allowed me to explore the park with no rush.

“Great location / No Genius Advantage / nearly lost train due to luggage “service””
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Room
- • Stayed 1 night
눉The Standard rooms are o.K. It was noisy at night, one dog was barking uninterrupted from 3-4:00 a.m, so maybe better isolated windows would be an investment for a make-over. The hotel offer the service to deliver the luggage to the train station. The trains leave on time, that’s why it’s mandatory an written on the ticket to be 30 minutes before departure at the train station. 15 minutes later there was still no one to hand us our luggage with tickets inside. The (irresponsible) collaborator only arrived after having service personal from other hotels call to the contact of Belmont in Lima. We had to run to get the train that closed directly after entering. That is definitely not what I expect on the service and experience side. What was planned to be a relaxed return to Ollayatambo / Cusco and international flight turned out stressful. Concerning the Genius advantages, we did not get a late check-out due to a completely booked (is it? / restaurant was nearly empty) hotel. The Genius Wellcomedrink was the anyway free tee.
눇The location is great, directly at the front door of Mach Pichu Park. Food and Drinks are good and expensive, as there is also no alternative. The Benedict Egg was excellent, a lot of local good dishes. We also enjoyed the Pisco Sour lesson by Victor at 18:00, also excellent service in the restaurant by Arthur.

눉The only down side is the rooms are tiny! The bathroom and especially the shower were the smallest I’ve ever seen (and I’ve lived and travelled all over Asia and Europe). Also, internet is spotty but that should be expected considering where you are.

눇Can't beat the location, literally right next door to Macchu Picchu. It was great to get there, drop our luggage off and then go see Macchu Picchu in the afternoon and then see Macchu Picchu and climb Huynu Picchu the next morning. Yes, it is expensive but I would do all over again to stay here. Top notch service and great food!

눇Overall, The lodge is nice. But for such kind of price. I think they should offer a bit more service. Such as help us to reserve the seat for the bus to the town so we don't need to wait on the long line. (They only offer the service for taking the belmont train). or some walk or activities around the property. But seems we got nothing.
