About Novotel Cusco
Novotel Cusco is at Calle San Agustin 239 in Cusco's historic centre. The hotel puts the Plaza de Armas at 150 m, about five minutes on foot, and Koricancha and the Inca Museum are each 250 m away, so a first afternoon can be spent walking. The design mixes colonial character with modern touches, and the breakfast room is set in a sixteenth-century mansion.
Accor's page names Desayunador 365 for breakfast from 7 a.m., Restaurante 365 for lunch and dinner with international dishes and coca mate, and the Yaku Wasi bar-restaurant, where happy hour includes a pisco sour preparation show. Listed rooms measure 21 to 25 m². The Colonial family duplex room and the Standard Room with a double bed and sofa bed both sleep four, which suits parents with two children.
For day trips, the hotel's page lists Pisaq at 32 km (45 minutes by car), Chinchero at 28 km (about an hour) and Ollantaytambo at 57 km (about 1 hour 30 minutes). Sacsayhuaman is about 1 km from the hotel, and San Pedro train station is 1 km away, a 10 minute drive.

Good to know
- Cusco sits at about 3,399 m (11,152 ft), so plan a slow first day; the hotel's own page gives no altitude figure.
- Rooms facing the street or the central courtyard can pick up night noise, so ask for a quieter room and pack earplugs.
- Listed room sizes run from 21 to 25 m², which is compact for a family of four.
