The human perspective
My most recent stay at Sonesta Hotel Cusco was in 2025, and the service from the entire team, from reception to the concierge, was outstanding. The breakfast buffet impressed me with its quality and variety, honestly surpassing some of the five-star hotels in the area.
The location also worked well for me: a short, convenient walk to the main square, with plenty of dining options nearby, yet far enough from the busiest streets to avoid heavy traffic. Overall, the stay offered excellent value, and I’d happily recommend it.
