Belmond Palacio Nazarenas

Belmond Palacio Nazarenas is a luxurious hotel located in a former convent built on Inca walls in the heart of Cusco, Peru. Close to the Plaza de Armas, this historic site has a rich past, having served various purposes since the mid-1500s, including a school and a convent for nuns from native aristocracy. The hotel features restored frescoes, a church still used for worship, and a unique turntable for transactions. Guests can enjoy the first outdoor swimming pool in Cusco, a spa, and a restaurant that sources ingredients from the hotel's gardens. The building's blend of Inca and colonial architecture, along with its historical significance, makes it a fascinating destination for tourists and researchers alike.
