Casa Cartagena CuscoHigh in the Peruvian Andes lies the historic city of Cuzco, famous for its unique blend of Spanish and Incan cultures. Located just off a tranquil square behind the main plaza of Cuzco, Casa Cartagena Boutique Hotel & Spa Cusco emerges after years of restoration, which respected the original design of the historic house, to become one of the most exclusive boutique hotels in the city. Its walls of carved stone, which combines warmth, elegance and perfection, invite you to experience the fascinating magic and traditional mysticism that will transport you through time in this historic Spanish house declared a cultural heritage site of Peru.Its lovely atmosphere was built on an ancient Incan site, occupied by the ruling nobility of that time and from which it takes its name: Casa Cartagena, former property of the local Spanish ruler of Cuzco, Don Fernando Cartagena and Santa Cruz.This luxury hotel in Cuzco is an intimate refuge that has only sixteen spacious and comfortable suites, which perfectly blend the modern with the ancestral and luxury with the historical. The rooms are distributed symmetrically along a spacious patio of your dreams where time is suspended. It is located in the historic center of Cuzco, which was declared by UNESCO as a world heritage site.Recovery from an exhausting trip to Machu Picchu or the Sacred Valley of the Incas with our Qoya Spa will be something truly unequalled. It can be perfectly complemented with a delicious dinner in our restaurant which offers the best of local cuisine, "La bodega de la Chola", where poet Pablo Neruda was inspired and Che Guevara shared bohemian nights; it is considered one of the best restaurants in Cuzco.All of these unique features of Casa Cartagena and our warm and personalized service will make your stay in Cuzco an experience you will never forget.

    Beautiful Amenities, Outstanding Service!
    My cousin and I stayed at Casa Cartagena for two nights, and boy do we wish our stay was longer! The amenities are amazing (beautiful courtyard, the most comfortable beds, spacious rooms, heated spa) but most of all the staff was phenomenal! Mani went above and beyond to cater to our every need. When we arrived we had a pot of tea waiting for us in our room since they figured we were dehydrated from the altitude. Breakfast orders were taken the night before and they offer everything you could imagine — we each enjoyed two hand prepared cappuccinos every morning! And every night mani brought us a complimentary happy hour treat to enjoy on our courtyard facing balcony, we absolutely loved the passion fruit pisco sour. All and all a stellar hotel, we will definitely be recommending this place to every friend who wishes to travel to Peru! Gracias, Casa Cartegena!

    Amazing place, luxurious and discreet, very peaceful and resting whilst at 2 min from the city center
    The place was amazing, as well as the staff. Extremely welcoming, full of attention. You can experience the spa, as well as a complimentary course on how to fix yourself a delicious pisco sour or simply hang on in the interior garden. Breakfast is very well presented and you can get all what you want. The restaurant provides dinner with a quite diversified menu. We loved staying at Casa Cartagena! Thank you

    Can't think of one thing to say other than "Perfect".
    When we give reviews, we try to be fair to other travelers. We look to trip advisor reviews for our travel considerations, and we know that five star reviews are helpful, but often hide imperfections. So, we do our best to provide reviews that are fair to the vendor as well as honest for the reader. Having said that...Casa Cartagena is perfect. We had a perfect room. We enjoyed impeccable customer service at every step. We were made to feel welcome. We were made to feel important. We were given honest recommendations when we asked for them and we couldn't have been happier with our stay. The grounds are beautiful, the room was spacious, clean , and comfortable, and the location was two blocks away from the Plaza de Armas, which made it perfect for walking around the high-altitude city of Cusco. If your travel budget allows for a stay in this type of property, please do so. You will not be disappointed in the good people and the great accommodations of Casa Cartagena.
    Dear Guest: Thanks for your preference, we really aprecciated your comments about your stay in our place . It's gratifying to know that you liked the room and noticed the impeccable customer service at every step ,felling you welcome. also remmenber the beautiful grounds , and the location that is situated two blocks away from the Plaza de Armas.

From the start of my stay to the end of it I felt so welcomed and pampered! I had to acclimatize to the high altitude when I arrived so just chilled and moved slowly. I did manage a walk to the main square. Got a massage later that day from the spa which was ok. It was weird how the same music kept repeating. Had to tell her to stop as it too much and not making me relax at all! That was the only bad experience really.. everything else was great! The food and the presentation were amazing. And the service was bar none! Thank you again, Kevin and team..!

If you come to Cusco, this is the place to stay. Easily WALKABLE to EVERYTHING, yet as soon as you walk through the front doors. You are greeted with seclusion and tranquility within the beautiful courtyard of this place. The staff is attentive to every detail, and as a bonus, you get Pisco Sour tasting provided by them. I wish I could give this place 1000 stars, as they deserve it. Stay here. You will fall in love.

Wow! We cannot say enough good things about this beatiful hotel and exceptional staff. After long days of exploring, it was so nice to come back to a place that truly felt like home. Angie, Mani, Claudia, and the entire Casa Cartagena staff were so kind and accomodating. They anticipated our every need and even prepared a hot, fresh meal for us one minute before the restaurant closed! The impecable service, gorgeous spa (complete with a eucalyptus-infused sauna) delicious food, and great location makes this a place we will definitely come back to again and again!

Everything about this hotel is first class. Perfect location, excellently appointed rooms and, brilliant staff who go above and beyond to ensure a perfect stay. The breakfast is incredible, as are the Pisco Sours and the spa facilities. We had a two night stay initially and then returned for a further one night stay - it was faultless

We stayed two nights to this beautiful courtyard hotel. We were three couples and all of us got suite. Each room has different interiors but everything was really good. Bathrooms are contemporary and huge with all amenities. We were treated with welcome drink and sweet treats, our room had a treat with our name on it. Service staff was excellent and on-site restaurant has delicious food. Breakfast was amazing and staff was very helpful. It was very close to main plaza. Highly recommend staying here.

This was one of the highlights of an amazing trip. Due to Covid we delayed and rescheduled for more than 18 months - and they were super helpful. However, once we were there, they are absolutely amazing. We were upgraded a couple of nights. we felt so pampered the entire time. Best hotel ever.
