Belmond Sanctuary Lodge

Belmond Sanctuary Lodge is the only hotel located at the entrance of the Machu Picchu Inca citadel, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Accessible by foot or rail, it offers a unique opportunity for tourists and researchers to stay right at the heart of this historic site. Originally used as accommodation for researchers from 1911 to 1946, the lodge has a rich history, having undergone several ownership changes and renovations. It was officially renamed Belmond Sanctuary Lodge in 2014, reflecting its connection to the prestigious Belmond brand. The lodge not only provides comfort but also serves as a gateway to explore the ancient ruins of Machu Picchu, making it an ideal base for visitors seeking to immerse themselves in the culture and history of the Inca civilization.
