This mid-range Hilton hotel is a charming, stylish property that's far from the bland look offered by most chains. Inviting interiors feature chic decor, while its hillside location right on the edge of Cusco's Historic District affords it beautiful views over the city and mountains (though it can be a challenge to hike back up). There's a restaurant that serves three meals a day, as well as a bar, a lovely lounge, a spa treatment room, a yoga room, and a 24/7 shop selling snacks and sundries. Guest rooms are tastefully appointed and outfitted with flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, electric kettles, and free Wi-Fi, while suites have living rooms. Upgrades to Scenic View Rooms are recommended, as the vistas are gorgeous. For a more central location and character-filled rooms, check out Aranwa Cusco Boutique Hotel.

Two-pearl La Posada del Viajero Hostal is a basic option with a top location just a few blocks from Plaza de Armas and the cathedral. There are no frills here and it's tricky to find, hidden down a shabby alley. Inside, though, the off-street location gives the property a secluded feel, and the bright interior courtyard is a nice place to kick back. There's a laid-back atmosphere and guests use the kitchen facilities when the daily free buffet breakfast is finished. The hotel is popular with groups thanks to the larger rooms, which can have three and even five beds. Alternatively, La Casona de Rimacpampa has a similar rustic style and might be preferable for those traveling in by train, as it's a bit closer to the station.
