About San Agustin Plaza
San Agustín Plaza sits on Avenida El Sol in central Cusco, directly across from the Qorikancha, the Temple of the Sun. That makes a first morning easy to plan: the temple is at the front door, the Plaza de Armas is a 10-minute walk, and Sacsayhuaman and the San Blas neighborhood are about 15 and 7 minutes away by car. The airport is roughly 15 minutes off.
The hotel has 77 rooms in six types: singles, queen-bed matrimonial rooms, doubles, triples, family rooms with two double beds, and Junior Suites with a king bed. Each type lists a heater, a minibar, a safe and a courtesy infusion kit, useful on cold Andean evenings. Wi-Fi is free in the rooms and public areas.
Kantu, the restaurant, serves Novo-Andean and international dishes, and Chaska is a small bar that holds 20 guests. Breakfast is a buffet that opens at 4:30 a.m., which suits early tours and trains. At reception, coca and muña tea is kept ready for guests adjusting to Cusco's elevation of about 3,399 meters.
Perfect if you are

Good to know
- Breakfast service starts at 4:30 a.m., so guests leaving for dawn trains or tours can eat first.
- Extra beds and cribs are available on request, but the hotel must confirm them, so ask before arrival.
- The hotel faces a main avenue, so ask for a room away from the street if you are a light sleeper.
