Cusco Hotel: Hostal Corihuasi

The Hostal Corihuasi, situated mere steps from Cusco’s downtown and Plaza de Armas, is the perfect humble retreat for those who want to immerse themselves in the region’s history and natural splendor. Although now charmingly restored, the building was once an 18th century colonial home typical of its era. Take some time to stop by on your way to Machu Picchu or the Sacred Valley!

Description

“Corihuasi” in the Quechua language means “golden house,” suggesting a sense of luxury and calm that the hotel clearly takes to heart. Located just 2 blocks from Cusco’s main square and the Plaza de Armas, the Hostal Corihuasi resides within an old colonial home from the 18th century which in turn was built upon what were once the infamous Inca crop terraces. Careful restoration of the building means guests can now enjoy the charming aesthetics of the old days while relaxing with the excellence of modern amenities.

The architectural complex retains much of its historical charisma and the guestrooms’ views of the city are spectacular. Marvel at Cusco’s thick layer of red roofs as well as the dramatic peaks of the Andes Mountains that rise beyond them from the comfort of your bed. Green window and banister accents set against the hotel’s otherwise more muted and natural colors act as hints of nature and help soothe away every stress during your Peru vacation.

Room Amenities

The ambience of each guestroom at the Hostal Corihuasi was created to provide only the utmost sense of comfort that radiates the coziness of home. From the windows, guests can gaze over the ancient city’s panorama as well as the historic city center. Private bathrooms, hot water, a telephone, cable TV, and safe deposit box round out the amenities provided to assure a pleasant stay.
