What a great group of friendly staff!
From arriving at the train station to be met by Ruben who took care of the luggage, got us into the bus and by the time we were up at the hotel our bags were ready for us.
Upon arrival we were greeted by Anthony "our shaman". Took care of every detail and gave us a lot of historical information.
Have to say everyone from the front desk to the restaurant and bar were excellent and made our (short) stay worth it.
Thanks to all!
Great location to visit Machu Picchu for a morning visit.. we were able to get to sunrise on the mountain
Service was impeccable and the garden in the lodge overlooking huayna Picchu was spectacular
We had an absolutely wonderful stay at this hotel. From the moment we arrived until the day we left, everything exceeded our expectations.
A special thank you to Nelson, the concierge, who went above and beyond to make our stay truly memorable. His kindness, professionalism, and attention to detail were exceptional. We would also like to thank to the bartender and everyone that have make the warm hospitality, friendly service, and genuine care made us feel incredibly welcome.
The hotel itself is beautiful, the atmosphere is relaxing, and the service is truly world-class. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience and will cherish the memories from our stay.
We highly recommend this hotel and look forward to returning in the future!
Unbelievable stay! We did the First Light Experience with breakfast and it was one of the most memorable things we have ever done! The staff were truly outstanding and went out of their way to ensure we were well taken care of. Yes, it is alot of money to stay at this resort, but it was truly a once in a lifetime experience!
This Belmond is ideally located at the entrance which was great for our stay. The staff are friendly, professional and very helpful. The property is excellent and the dining choices are very very good.
Absolutely stunning property, with views of huayna picchu, right on the door step of machu picchu. Amazing food and 5* facilities. A must stay place when visting machu picchu.
This is a marvelous place to be pampered while visiting Machu Picchu. They offer a dawn tour which allows you to visit the site with very few other tourists.
Words cannot express how lovely the people are at this hotel! Yes, it’s in a small spot, but it is in the ideal location for once in a lifetime trip. From check in to check out these people are top-notch!
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.
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.
Spent a night here after the 4 Day Inka trail to give ourselves the opportunity to return to MP in the afternoon for sunset and again early next morning for sunrise. The room was excellent but the food and service were impeccable. Worth every penny especially with full boarding included. We enjoyed being pampered for a day at the end of the long hike.
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.

Mr Russel at the restaurant doing amazing job personalized service !!
Cocktail at the bar very good
Nothing bad to say
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.
The staff at the Sanctuary by Belmond were extraordinary in their efforts to make us feel at home and cared for. One of our party lost a wallet on the grounds and they made every effort to help us find it. The front desk were especially accommodating in assisting us book bus tickets and entry tickets to Machu Picchu. Thumbs up!
Location, location, location! This property is right next to the entrance to Machu Picchu which was wonderful for a 6am entrance time and we were the first ones climbing Huayna Picchu Mountain which was magnificent! But it's not just the location. This luxury hotel has a wonderful staff and in particular, the bar staff were so much fun showing us how to make local drinks and doing some taste testing. Loved it all!
Amazing hotel with an unbeatable location. The service was brilliant with Sebastian and John being so welcoming on arrival at the train station and helpful on departure including assisting me with gifts from the market. I was unexpectedly provided with free champagne and chocolates as a welcome gift.
The room was fantastic with a very comfortable bed.
The breakfast experience on the terrace with the sound of the waterfalls and a clear view of Machu Picchu was a once in a lifetime experience.
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
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!
