Literally across the street from the entrance to Manchu Pinchu- couldn’t be closer. Allowed us to see MP late afternoon on the day we arrived and early morning on the day we departed - two totally different experiences. Staff was lovely. Standouts were Chef Daniel, Alex, and Edy in the restaurant. Expensive, but if you are only visiting MP once in your lifetime, this hotel offers convenience that you can’t find elsewhere. Thank you for a great stay.

I was very pleased to realize that this hotel, in its privileged and exclusive position just outside Machu Picchu, does not rest on its laurels and provides top-notch service… At check-in and throughout our stay, the staff at Sanctuary Lodge managed to match natural beauty and archaeological importance with their detailed, sincere and friendly service… The luxurious Belmond brand can be proud of this iconic location.

This was definitely a splurge made doable by sharing with a friend. The amenities, comfort and service were top notch. We stayed here after coming off the Inca Trail, making the luxury that more amazing. The dining was unforgettable. They kept bringing us more wonderful things to try and enjoy. I've never felt so spoiled.

Perfect way to see Machu Picchu

A very beautiful hotel with excellent location. The location and ease alone access made it worth it. The hotel staff greeted us at the train station and helped us with our bus tickets and luggage. We received a room upgrade when we arrived, the room was well decorated and clean. The restaurant was good and our lunch, dinner and breakfast were included. However the service in the restaurant was a bit slow. When you check out and leave Machu Picchu the hotel gives you access to showers even if you have checked out. Very nice detail we greatly appreciated

Extremely wonderful stay

The Belmond Sanctuary Lodge at Machu Picchu was a superb and extraordinary hotel. The location near the entrance to the citadel makes this hotel so unique. The staff were extremely attentive and accommodating. They addressed us by our names and their kind and sincere interaction s with us made us feel like a part of the family.

Once in a lifetime experience!

Hands down the best way to do Machu Picchu. From John and Alex helping coordinate pickup and transportation to the lodge, to Orlando’s warm welcome at check-in, to Victor’s excellent service at the bar and restaurant, everyone at Sanctuary Lodge went above and beyond to provide unparalleled service. The views, property grounds, food and drinks, service and accommodations are all 5 stars. Access to the Bellond lounge at Aguas Caliente train station was also very useful after Machu Picchu trek and checking out. Overall it was worth every penny and a memorable experience to stay at Sanctuary Lodge!

Stay of a Lifetime

The most beautiful hotel you could ever imagine! There is no other setting like this in the world, so why would you stay anywhere else when you take a trip to Machu Picchu? The staff make every effort to make sure you are taken care of. They truly deliver first-class service at the Sanctuary Lodge. Bruno was such a pleasure to work with. The rooms are quite comfortable and the views from the hotel grounds are stunning. The food at the restaurant is fantastic. We loved that they had changing rooms for guests to take a shower and change clothes for the train even after checking out. I would recommend a stay here a thousand times over. This may be a once in a lifetime traveling experience, so making a reservation here is a must!

This is my third time in Machu Picchu and this time I decided to stay at the Sanctuary Lodge Belmond Hotel with my daughter. It was one of the most beautiful experience we have ever had. The staff’s service, kindness, and anticipation of all our needs -from our arrival at the train station at Machu Picchu Pueblo to our departure with the bus- showed the high level of training of everyone involved. John picked us up at the train station and counseled us about the best way to visit the Sacred City. We loved the check-in at the scenic terrace with Manuel, our meals at their amazing restaurant and the service and conversation with Issai. He gave us "Chapo”, a delicious traditional beverage made of banana and cinnamon. After visiting the archeological site and climbing Waynapicchu, we were welcomed by superb relaxing massage. The gorgeous property has tiered terraces to watch the sunrise from and a magical orchid garden with a waterfall that were so inspiring. The whole team made our stay one of the most beautiful experiences in our lives and we truly enjoyed Machu Picchu in a totally different way. I highly, highly, highly recommend the Sanctuary Lodge. Congratulations to its team.

The hotel is right next to the entrance to Machu Picchu and the service is top notch. If requested they will meet you when you get off the train to collect your luggage and take you to the bus ride location. You will have to pre-pay for the bus ride but they do take care of everything else. The property grounds are very well thought out and taken care of. Take time to walk around their garden area. It is beautiful. The restaurant food is good but expensive. Service by all staff is the very best. Upon leaving they tag your luaggage and have it ready for you and meet you right before you board the train ride home. Our only miscommuncation is where exactly at the train station you get your luggage. No one at the train station knew anything. But dont worry because right before you are ready to step foot on that train a guy in the white shirt , from the Belmond, is right there with your luggage ready to it up those steps for you. So dont panic or waste your time going to look for him or your luggage and enjoy your time in Agua Caliente shopping or having lunch.
