Belmond Palacio Nazarenas

Set within a peaceful plaza just behind Cuzco’s main square, Belmond Palacio Nazarenas has been transformed from a 16th-century palace-turned-convent into a 55-suite, urban escape complete with the city’s first outdoor swimming pool. Escape from the rest of the world amidst cloistered terraces embellished with fountains and flowers, or head to the Hypnôze Spa. Back in your balconied suite, you’ll enjoy original Inca and colonial features, an iPad upon rrequest — and personal butler service. The Senzo restaurant creates quite a stir with its cutting-edge cuisine.
