About this place Casa Cartagena Boutique Hotel & Spa

Nestled in the heart of Cusco's historic district, this boutique hotel and spa offers LGBTQ+ travellers a welcoming luxury base in one of Peru's most iconic destinations. Located at 336 Calle Palacio, the property occupies a carefully restored colonial-era building that preserves the original design while providing modern comfort and amenities. The hotel sits at the crossroads of Incan heritage and Spanish colonial history, with distinctive architecture that combines ancient Incan stonework with colonial details—a reflection of Cusco's unique cultural position as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Guests can expect the refined hospitality typical of boutique hotels in this category, with personalized service and attention to detail. The property features spa facilities, allowing visitors to relax after exploring Cusco's high-altitude attractions, including the Sacred Valley and nearby Machu Picchu. The intimate scale of a boutique property means a more curated experience compared to larger chain hotels, with an emphasis on authentic character and local design elements. Cusco itself is an essential stop for many travellers exploring Peru, and staying in the historic centre puts you within walking distance of archaeological sites, colonial plazas, museums, and the city's dining and nightlife scene. The altitude (around 11,000 feet) can take adjustment, but the spa facilities and comfortable surroundings provide a pleasant retreat. For LGBTQ+ travellers seeking accommodation that combines luxury with cultural significance in one of South America's most historic cities, this property offers a distinctive choice in a welcoming setting.

Beautiful, clean, and well-located hotel. Attentive, polite, and friendly staff, always smiling and willing to help.

We had a fabulous stay at the Hotel Cartagena! Sandro was lovely to us (he speaks French), the spa is great, the restaurant is really good, and the breakfast was divine. I dream of going back.

Not bad, but definitely not worth the amount of money at all. The staff is kind and mostly helpful, but they don’t seem to coordinate between each other well. For example, the front desk will say something different from the Spa, so it can be confusing. Having stayed in 3 different hotels in Cusco, there are plenty of options around $50 a night that could easily rival this place in terms of comfort, amenities, and also with free breakfast. Stay here if you like, but know you can stay in a similar place for 1/4 of the price and save it for extra things in Cusco!

My top place in Cusco for accommodation… would definitely come back. It scores 10/10 in all respects. The only “negative” I could find is the temperature in the sauna (too mild for me:)

The staff is very helpful, friendly, and discreet, assisting you in any way they can. The rooms are comfortable. On our first day, they gave us a slightly better room than the one we had booked because it had very high ceilings and we were a bit cold. We mentioned this, and they quickly found a solution and moved us to a different room. The facilities are very clean, with a lovely interior courtyard, and the rooms are comfortable. The dining area, where breakfast, lunch, and dinner are served, is also very well-decorated. They offer breakfasts with fresh juices and seasonal fruits, and they prepare various egg dishes in the kitchen. The dinners we had were also very good, with soup options that are very helpful for altitude sickness, especially during the first few days. The location is excellent for excursions, as it's central, and a plaza where shuttle buses can pick you up is just a 2-minute walk away. If you're going to Machu Picchu, it's an excellent accommodation option because of the comfort the hotel offers and being in Cusco, which has a wide variety of restaurants and places to visit.
