Cusco Hotel: Picoaga Hotel

Whether you want the lavishness of a colonial experience or the stylish comforts of a modern lifestyle, the Picoaga Hotel in Cusco is the ideal option. The hotel’s 2 distinctly themed wings housed in a 17th century mansion harmoniously provide a nod to the past as well as a stride into the future. All the same, guests are always merely a step away from the most popular Cusco museums and attractions.

Description

The Picoaga Hotel is one of the most luxurious accommodation options among Cusco hotels. It is peacefully tucked into a small, paved street for ultimate privacy and rest although also just a moment’s walk from the city’s main square, the Plaza de Armas. The building itself was originally the mansion of a 17th century Spanish noble, the Marquis of Picoaga, giving the hotel a rich sense of history that was clearly respected by modern renovation efforts. Authentic colonial architecture styles are exemplified in all the details of the Picoaga Hotel such as the dramatic columns and Spanish patio. It is indeed a living example of Cusco’s cultural heritage.

Yet, the hotel also looks into the future. The Colonial wings of the Picoaga Hotel are adjacent to the Modern wings, and the style of the elements that link them are clearly influenced by both eras. Rustic stone arcades and patios with water features and murals are set against more chic and contemporary aspects, a progressive fusion that will surely delight the eye. Colonial rooms are set around a main patio and retain the charm and style of times gone by, while Modern rooms focus on the comforts and indulgence of today.

When guests are ready to take in a succulent and hearty meal, head to the El Mirador restaurant to complete your Picoaga Hotel experience. Both regional and international cuisine is offered alongside windows that provide gracious views over the roof and mountains of the Cusco panorama.

Room Amenities

The Picoaga Hotel’s 70 rooms are of the utmost extravagance. Regardless if your room is in the Colonial or Modern wing, plush white linens and air conditioning and heating will be sure to keep you feeling taken care of. Also, indulge yourself with the comforts of wireless Internet, 24-hour room service, the newly remodeled bathrooms, a hair dryer, radio alarm clock, safe deposit box, cable TV, and telephone.
