Description

Housed in an 18th century colonial-style house once the property of a local merchant, the Boutique Hotel Casa San Blas transports guests back in time. Though the hotel has been refurbished to accommodate contemporary taste and comfort, it still reflects the charm of colonial San Blas. The redecoration also incorporated Inca walls into the original architecture.

The interior decoration of the house, drawing from Andean art and culture, also adds to the charm and intimacy that characterizes this property. Gorgeous wooden furnishings and a pretty patio area are all elements of the hotel’s pleasant and attractive attire. The hotel is also dedicated to preserving Andean textile and ceramic traditions; this is reflected in the stunning and vibrant patterned works that can be found around the hotel.

The hotel has long been recognized for its high standards of quality customer service. It has received awards by the national tourism authority for the hoteliers’ efforts to provide a superior, personalized, and customized service within the comfort of a restored family home.

The Boutique Hotel Casa San Blas works with the neighboring Tika bistro, which provides room service and all dining services at the hotel. Tika’s delectable menu blends Thai and Vietnamese techniques and flavors with Peruvian ingredients, and the restaurant features an extensive wine list.

Room Amenities

The bedroom décor continues the rustic colonial charm with period furniture including a large wooden chest and a beautifully-ornamented wooden headboard matching the varnished paneled floorboards. These rooms are also decorated with delightful local weavings that depict Andean history and religion using bold, colorful symbolism. There are single, double, and queen-size beds in all of these and bathrooms are designed for maximum comfort, in addition to 2 extra-long single and/or double beds available upon request. Room temperature and noise levels are maintained by double layered curtains. The hotel’s Suite Apartments have fully-equipped kitchenettes and remarkable panoramic views of Cusco from the third floor terrace.
