This was a 7 night multiple reservation stay that was absolutely wonderful for our Machu Pichu, Sacred Valley and Rainbow Mountain holiday. We opted to stay here for the entire time and do day trips. Knowing that the excursions were long days (12-18 hours each), we added extra days to recover and rest between tours. It worked well and I recommend that option if time and funds allow. Cusco is beautiful with pretty churches, plazas, shopping and excellent restaurants that we enjoyed on our down days. Another option is to move to the Sacred Valley for touring there and shorter travel time to Machu Pichu. Reservations: Used American Express FHR for 2 nights which gives a statement credit on our cc bill. Included a $150 spa credit and other amenities (breakfast, late check out) that we also receive with Titanium Status. This was our first booking through the AmEx portal and it worked perfectly. Prompted for Bonvoy number during booking and reservation populated in both Marriott Bonvoy and AmEx accounts. Points and stay posted quickly after checking out. Reserved 2 nights with Marriott FNAs. They were saver awards and only had to top off 11k on one (one at 35k and one at 45k) Final 3 nights were cash and booked with a special for staying 3 nights or more. Booked a classic king and upgraded for entire stay to a king suite (without NUA) Arrival: 20 minutes from airport and 25€ taxi Francesca assisted at check in and acknowledged status and special celebrations. Upgraded us to a suite for the entire stay. The destination fee includes a property tour, pisco class, and changing daily tour/activity. Property: The property is historic with careful respect to the local culture and architecture. This translates to some beautiful quirks and uniqueness. The walls are thick, small windows, and colonial style furnishings. Our suite had all of the amenities you'd expect - mini fridge, safe etc. The rooms weren't large but it was nice to have space to spread out a bit. Location is great in Cusco for walking, dining and shopping. Our tour drivers had no problem finding us. Dining: A grab and go breakfast of sandwich, fruit and snack was set up every day from 4-5 am for people leaving on early tours. The regular breakfast buffet started at 5 am and was lovely. Local specialties and cooked to order offerings. Spa: I emailed the spa ahead of our stay to schedule my massage. They were very responsive and sent the entire service menu along with recommendations. I enjoyed my massage and quiet time in the small spa. Concierge staff was vey helpful for recommendations. There were often at least 4 on duty and making sure we didn't require assistance as we waited for a tour driver. Of course the highlight is Inti the on property alpaca A lovely stay and highly recommend
