La Casona Raises Luxury Bar in Cusco
At La Casona Hotel in Cusco, a simple door on a quiet plaza admits travelers to the sumptuous interiors of this refurbished colonial mansion. Rich weavings typical to the region, overstuffed furniture, and a quietly welcoming host usher you into Cusco’s most exclusive new luxury hotel.
La Casona, an Inkaterra property, opened in 2008 to wide acclaim from guests and media alike – the high level of service, stylishly appointed rooms, and exclusivity of the property make it a unique option for people who travel to Peru and are looking for the best of the best.
Latin Excursions had an opportunity to visit La Casona in September, and was impressed by this latest addition to Cusco’s crowded hotel market. The first aspect of La Casona that makes it particularly stand out is its commitment to the privacy of guests – no hotel restaurant brings in diners from outside, no bar attracts revelers, and, in fact, the front door is closed to all but hotel guests.
Rooms in the refurbished colonial mansion are spacious, with even the lower category rooms boasting king beds and intimate dining areas. Bathrooms are huge, with deep baths, two sinks and plush amenities. Room categories include Patio Suites, Plaza Suites and Balcon Suites – the latter feature small balconies for enjoying a peaceful breakfast or drink.
VIP service is the order of the day for guests at La Casona, with housekeeping thrice daily, concierge service, a personalized welcome, and a butler. The small size (only 11 suites) keeps things quiet, and allows guests the maximum opportunity to relax in their opulent setting.
La Casona is perfect for honeymoon couples, those celebrating a special event, or travelers who want to experience the majesty of Cusco in style.
