Destination

Drapes shift in breeze through a suite door, revealing a view of the imposing Huayna Picchu beyond Sanctuary Lodge's gardens.

Experience Machu Picchu in unmatched serenity with Sanctuary Lodge, the only hotel at the citadel gates granting convenient access for guests.

Wellness

A guest sits in easy pose as she does yoga at the relaxation area, with incredible views of Machu Picchu, seen from behind.

Connect with ancient Inca wisdom during restorative treatments in our massage room, or step into the Sanctuary Lodge gardens where Peru’s native flora flourishes in breathtaking abundance.

Built in the 15th century as the estate of the royal Incan emperor Pachacuti, Machu Picchu is comprised of tiered terraces and temples that rise into the clouds.

Cultural ceremonies have endured to this day. Guests at Sanctuary Lodge – which originally housed explorers and researchers before becoming a Belmond hotel in 1999 – take part in time-honored rituals as we collaborate with the best guides and storytellers who continue to Incas’ legacy.
