Once in a lifetime experience!
Hands down the best way to do Machu Picchu. From John and Alex helping coordinate pickup and transportation to the lodge, to Orlando’s warm welcome at check-in, to Victor’s excellent service at the bar and restaurant, everyone at Sanctuary Lodge went above and beyond to provide unparalleled service. The views, property grounds, food and drinks, service and accommodations are all 5 stars. Access to the Bellond lounge at Aguas Caliente train station was also very useful after Machu Picchu trek and checking out. Overall it was worth every penny and a memorable experience to stay at Sanctuary Lodge!

Extremely wonderful stay
The Belmond Sanctuary Lodge at Machu Picchu was a superb and extraordinary hotel. The location near the entrance to the citadel makes this hotel so unique. The staff were extremely attentive and accommodating. They addressed us by our names and their kind and sincere interaction s with us made us feel like a part of the family.

Stay of a Lifetime
The most beautiful hotel you could ever imagine! There is no other setting like this in the world, so why would you stay anywhere else when you take a trip to Machu Picchu? The staff make every effort to make sure you are taken care of. They truly deliver first-class service at the Sanctuary Lodge. Bruno was such a pleasure to work with. The rooms are quite comfortable and the views from the hotel grounds are stunning. The food at the restaurant is fantastic. We loved that they had changing rooms for guests to take a shower and change clothes for the train even after checking out. I would recommend a stay here a thousand times over. This may be a once in a lifetime traveling experience, so making a reservation here is a must!

The hotel is right next to the entrance to Machu Picchu and the service is top notch. If requested they will meet you when you get off the train to collect your luggage and take you to the bus ride location. You will have to pre-pay for the bus ride but they do take care of everything else. The property grounds are very well thought out and taken care of. Take time to walk around their garden area. It is beautiful. The restaurant food is good but expensive. Service by all staff is the very best. Upon leaving they tag your luaggage and have it ready for you and meet you right before you board the train ride home. Our only miscommuncation is where exactly at the train station you get your luggage. No one at the train station knew anything. But dont worry because right before you are ready to step foot on that train a guy in the white shirt , from the Belmond, is right there with your luggage ready to it up those steps for you. So dont panic or waste your time going to look for him or your luggage and enjoy your time in Agua Caliente shopping or having lunch.

Absolutely beautiful property, once in a lifetime experience.. The staff was amazing in assisting and helping us to purchase our bus tickets to hotel and tickets to machu picchu. The tour to Machu Piccu we booked with this hotel was great as well (Darcy was our tour guide) ; they also have a terrace with hummingbirds flying around, its just great experience for bird watchers and photographers. The food and service were top notch, every detail was thought through. It is definately worth the money. We stayed there for 3 days and 2 nights and it was raining for last 1.5 days but we had amazing experience anyway because we had 3 days! Thats defibately the way to do it

Absolutely fabulous hotel- Must stay 2 nights!
What an unbelievable way to visit Machu Picchu! The Belmond is an incredible hotel and well worth the splurge. Staying 2 nights was so worth it and I would encourage others to do this. Our room was lovely and very comfortable, the food was absolutely fabulous (and we are big foodies) and the staff was just the best. We spent so much time talking to them and learning about their lives, families, Peru, - it was an education- not a tourist visit to a site you check off your bucket list. I loved that the food and drinks were included in the cost because it made us try new things that were recommended. The pisco tasting in the evening was really fun and we ended up meeting a great couple that we hung out with after dinner. That is such a great part of traveling- meeting people and building life long friendships. The type of people at the Belmond Sanctuary lodge were very friendly, outgoing, interesting, and diverse. It was the perfect combination. I highly recommend getting a guide for your visit to MP. Our guide Beltran was incredible and the hotel arranged everything. He not only was very informative, witty, and interesting, he was also crucial to my husband getting up and down all the narrow steps and walking trails! My husband swears he would not have been able to navigate and complete our visit without his help. Our visit to Machu Picchu was fabulous but the Belmond Sactuary Lodge made it just so much more special, less rushed, and much more pampered.

Location is great and hotel is very nice. My only issue is that we paid for 3 and we’re stuffed into a room for 2 people.

Dear Guest. Thank you for the time that you took in sharing you recent experience with us. I regret to read that you had problems with the room distribution, let me comment that we just have a single and doubles rooms, by the way we make for the request of our guests some exceptions but this is the reason that we not offer other kind of rooms in our web site. Thank you again for your time and be sure that you will be always welcome to the fantastic world of Belmond. Sincerely, Marc Yeterian General Manager
