About Sonesta Hotel Cusco
Sonesta Hotel Cusco sits at Av. El Sol 954 in central Cusco, a few blocks from the main square. The Cathedral is about a 13 minute walk, and Wanchaq Station is 3 minutes on foot. The hotel belongs to the Sonesta chain and has 127 rooms in four types, from 23 square meter standard rooms to 50 square meter executive twins with space for a family.
Cusco sits at about 3,400 meters, and the hotel plans for that. A lobby station serves coca and muña tea around the clock, and oxygen can be brought to a room on request. Rooms have central heating and soundproofing. An airport shuttle runs on request, which helps on an early arrival or a late departure before a flight.
Room choices are simple. Standard rooms are 23 square meters with either a king bed or two double beds, and the twins take two adults and two children. Eight executive rooms and suites offer 40 square meters with a king bed. Meals are in the hotel restaurant, there is also a cafe and two bars, and room service never closes.
