The five-star boutique hotel Inkaterra La Casona in Peru has received one of the most prestigious awards for luxury hotels around the world: The Editor’s Choice Award from Hideaway Report in the Remarkable Returns category. “This 11-room hideaway makes guests feel as if they have their own private mansion in Cusco,” the authors write.
The U.S. magazine Andrew Harper’s Hideaway Report was founded in 1979 and is always on the lookout for luxurious hotels with individual and special characters. The hotel testers always travel incognito on their own account, which is why their awards enjoy a particularly good reputation.
Preservation of culture plus superior service
At the Inkaterra boutique hotel in the former Inca capital of Cusco (according to the Incas, Cusco was the center of the earth), the judges from the Hideaway Report liked especially the preservation of history combined with modern luxury. For example, rooms in the 500-year-old building still feature original, r stored frescoes and a wood-burning fireplace. When guests return after a day of sightseeing, the butler has prepared a hot bubble bath in the freestanding bathtub. The food and overall atmosphere also received praise.
Cusco’s proximity to Machu Picchu and other Inca ruins makes it the best place to stay for anyone traveling to Peru for the historical sights. At Inkaterra Hotel, guests are also provided with personal guides.

Inkaterra Hotels stand out for sustainability
Inkaterra owns seven accommodations in Peru – each one is unique and there is always a strong sense of rootedness to the country’s Inca history.
Four of them are Green Pearls partners because they excel in sustainability: The (newly awarded) Inkaterra La Casona in Cusco, the Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba (in the Urubamba Valley near Cusco), the Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel directly on Machu Picchu, and the Inkaterra Reserva Amazónica in the Amazon.
