Set to open its doors in June of this year, the 203 room renovated hotel will welcome guests that want a little relaxing before they head into the hills or a pampering reward after they worked their dogs on a hiking trip. If the renovated rooms aren't enough, a visit to the Travertine marble and tornillo wood spa can rejuvinate any weary body.

Its no wonder they feel left out, considering a hotel opened in December and the news got lost in the holiday shuffle. Well, let's rectify that. Guess what? Theres a new 207-room <a href="http://www3.hilton.com/en/hotels/peru/hilton-lima-miraflores-LIMMFHH/offers/index.htm">Hilton Lima Miraflores</a>, located in the capital citys trendy Miraflores district, just 11 miles from the airport. This is Hiltons first managed hotel in Peru and its flagship hotel in the country. While traditionally courting the business market, this Hilton is different in that the décor is inspired by Peruvian history and architecture.

That's where the <a href="http://www.monasteriohotel.com/">Hotel Monasterio</a> comes into play, as it not only calls a well preserved 15th century monastery home (hence the name), but keeps the furnishings and food as locally sources as possible. It's not all so foreign, however; the toiletries are L'Occitane, the staff speaks excellent English and its membership in the Orient-Express Collection ensures a certain level of service. Yesterday we <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/10/15/171133/67/hotels/Inside_the_Orient-Express_Hotel_Monasterio_in_Cusco%2C_Peru">showed you</a> all around the property and made mention of the fact that it was the first Cusco hotel to introduce the option of oxygen enriching guest rooms to counter the JetSetCD 2012-10-17T15:07:00-05:00 Inside the Orient-Express Hotel Monasterio in Cusco, Peru http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/10/15/171133/67 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/MonastOther_1.jpg" class="top"> First things first. <a href="http://www.monasteriohotel.com/">Hotel Monasterio</a> is the most famous hotel in Cusco, Peru. Part of the reason comes from its being of the Orient-Express Collection, but the property really distinguished itself when it became the first to offer oxygen-enriched rooms to combat the effects of altitude sickness, a very real obstacle to enjoying Cusco for travelers who arrive to the city's 11,200' height without acclimating. Airplanes actually have to specially adjust their cabin pressurization after arrival at the city's small airport. Altitude effects everyone differently and we were lucky to only get super winded while climbing stairs, which isn't much of a problem as the hotel is only two stories and occupies a monastery built in JetSetCD 2012-10-15T17:11:33-05:00 A Quick Look at the Just-Opened JW Marriott Cusco http://www.hotelchatter.com/story/2012/10/2/155022/595 <![CDATA[<img src="http://www.hotelchatter.com/files/6193/jwcuzmarrmain_1.jpg" class="top"> Fly into Peru's Lima Airport anytime soon and, even before you hit the streets, you'll be face-to-face with a huge ad for the two <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/jw marriott hotels">JW Marriott</a> properties in Peru: the <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/limdt-jw-marriott-hotel-lima/">JW Marriott Lima</a> and the <a href="http://www.marriott.com/hotels/travel/cuzmc-jw-marriott-hotel-cusco/">JW Marriott Cusco</a>. For now we focus on the JW Marriott Cusco, as it's only just opened and we just missed it by a few days. Still, we managed to snap a few preview shots. The property sits within a former monastery and numbers 153 rooms and suites, all with supplemental oxygen to combat the effects of Cusco's high altitude.
