Hotel los Marqueses

Cuzco


This colonial villa was built in the 16th century by Spanish conquistadors. Classic features include escuela cuzqueña (Cuzco school) paintings, courtyard fountains and balconies overlooking the Plaza de Armas. Rooms have some brass beds, skylights and carved wooden doors, often with odd mismatched furniture – a shame given the history here. Most guests come on package tours.

Wi-fi is available only on the patio.
