Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel

Blending perfectly into the hillside, the hotel feels like a genuine retreat. Once inside, there's an updated take on Andean-inspired décor: a mix of mod furniture, mahogany, gold and maroon with pops of colour on rugs and playful pillows. A buffet breakfast is served at Qunuq restaurant, which also offers lunch and dinner, and features Andean fusion dishes or a taster menu. And don’t bypass the bar: it has a range of unique creations using the freshest and most interesting local ingredients.

There are 60+ rooms in the hotel, all following the theme of dark woods, maroon fabrics and gold accents. Standard amenities include huge TVs, stocked minibars, coffee machine and a selection of fresh teas as well as seating areas. Bathrooms are solid marble with bathtubs and rain showers, while the comfy beds are dressed in goose-down duvets for a guaranteed good snooze. Some suites have a private jacuzzi and even butler service, and the river-facing rooms are extra special.
