A former monastery, this Belmond property looks over the red-tiled rooftops of the city, with 122 bedrooms and suites. A stunning symmetrical courtyard sits at the centre, its cloisters woven with walkways, flowerbeds, a fountain and a 300-year-old cedar tree – as well as one of its two restaurants (the other eatery is set within the building’s romantic arches). Or you can grab and go from the deli and enjoy canapes in the bar. The hotel offers an amazing Andean Bath Butler service, art tours (it’s home to one of the city’s finest collections of 18th-century religious artworks), cooking classes and pisco lessons.
