Great Sleeps: Hotel Monasterio, Cuzco, Peru

Hotel Monasterio Calle Palacio 136, 1 blk. from Plaza de Armas, 800-223-6800, +51 84 60 4000. Converted from a Spanish monastery built in 1592, this magnificent hotel features weathered stone arches sheltering the halls and original religious paintings decorating the walls. At hotel check-in we were offered coca tea, which eased our discomfort from the altitude. In the morning we feasted at the buffet in the cheery golden breakfast room of the El Tupay Restaurant, drinking electric-colored fruit juices and sampling tasty local Kiwicha biscuits and Andean cheese; Inca dinners are held here on Saturday.
