The Cradle of Peruvian History: Palacio del Inka
Palacio del Inka occupies an ornately restored 500-year-old mansion in the heart of Cusco, where cobblestone streets, colonial architecture, and bustling markets create a romantic, historic setting. Located near the Plaza de Armas, the hotel places guests within easy reach of landmarks such as the Santo Domingo Convent—built atop the Incan Temple of the Sun (Qoricancha)—the traditional San Pedro Market, and centers dedicated to native art. The hotel’s Inti Raymi restaurant elevates regional cuisine with an Ancestral Tasting Menu: a five-course meal that showcases Novo-Andean flavors and locally sourced ingredients. For relaxation rooted in heritage, Ades Spirit Spa offers treatments and massages inspired by ancient Peruvian traditions, plus a therapeutic indoor pool.
Each of these Highgate properties provides distinct settings and curated experiences that allow couples to tailor a romantic Peruvian escape—whether seeking city sophistication, highland adventure, coastal serenity, or historic immersion—while enjoying thoughtful amenities and authentic cultural encounters.
