Try the Sofitel, a couple of blocks of the Plaza de Armas. Highly recommended.

In Cusco, you can stay in a good, quite pleasant guest Hostal for $15-25 a night, or you can stay in a deluxe 5* international standard luxury hotel, for $250-400 a night, as well as the entire range in between. You might help us by giving us some idea what you are seeking.

If it's the former, I can heartily recommend the Hostal Marani, up the hill about 4 blocks from the Plaza de Armas, in San Blas.

Recently stayed at Casa Andina Private Collection and was quite pleased with both rooms and location. Food and dining ambience were also very good.

Cusco hotel

Last year I stayed at the Monasterio Hotel/Orient Express. It was originally a seminary and is now a beautiful hotel. It is also a very short walk (2 blocks) to the main square. On the expensive side but well worth it.

I shared a cab in Cuzco with a couple who had an wonderful apartment for rent. I spent about $10/night for a room

Living room, bedroom and full kitchen.

Located about 1 km (15 minute walk) from the Main Square.

I also stayed at the Monasterio when I was there (albiet 5 years ago) and it was beautiful. And very well located near the main square. A friend stayed there recently and was equally impressed- also mentioned that they had installed "oxygen enhancement" systems in most rooms- which is a huge advantage at that altitude (I wish they had that when i was there- I was sooo sick from the altitude).

Stayed at the Sofitel ( which was about half the price of El Monasterio) in February 2008. Found it a very nice hotel about the same distance from the square and they too had the oxygen systems.
However the " coca tea" we were offered on arrival was all we needed.

Just went looking for this as I am in Cusco in Jan. Only Sofitel I found in Peru is in Lima. Perhaps it is not part of the chain?

Sorry about that... the hotel was a Novotel not a Sofitel

Best bets in Cusco

I reviewed the top hotels there a while back for a trade pub and am about to do it again. For future reference, you could argue a little about this list, but they roughly fall in this order:

Monasterio
Inkaterra (small boutique)
Libertador (large with more services)
Casa Andina Private Collection
Novotel
