Amaru Colonial

Best 3⋆ by San Blas Market

Amaru Colonial Hotel San Blas

The Amaru Colonial is built in an old Spanish “casona,” which makes every room unique. The walls are solid and thick, giving them more sound proofing than modern buildings in Cusco. Most rooms have a lovely view across nearby red tile rooftops and down the valley. It’s located on the edge of San Blas, directly across from the San Blas Market. It’s a much quieter location that more central parts of San Blas and has better access for taxis.

I’ve visited the hotel when friends have stayed here but haven’t personally spent the night here. I included it because I like the location and the rooms are lovely. The service there is good, by Cusco standards, but certainly not exceptional.
