Amazing Race 7 Hotel Report: When In Incaville...

The Amazing Race 7 kicked off last night, so we are back to talk about hotels featured in each and every episode. What do we do when a hotel isn't featured in an episode? We guess where we think the cast and crew might be staying. No hotels were featured during last nights premiere, so let the guess work begin!
When you are starting a long, grueling, intensely competitive round the world journey you need to stay in style your first night away from home. With that philosophy in mind, if we were in charge of Amazing Race accommodations for CBS we would hook up our crew at the Hotel Monasterio Cusco high in the mountains of Peru. Hotel Monasterio is a spiritual five star hotel in a great locale.

This place is fat, Inca style. Especially if you upgrade to one of the twelve Junior Suites which are larger than the generic guest rooms and come with cool art work on the wall.
You aren't really in Cusco for the rooms, you are there for the culture right? Well if you are...the original architecture and design of the Monasterio has not been significantly altered, and thus the rooms do reflect their origins as a home for Jesuit seminarians. There are no 2 rooms alike and they all vary in size and format.
Though like we said before, the 109 guest rooms are run of the mill boxes.
The Hotel Monasterio has counteracted the sickness altitude problem introducing the oxygen supplementation system in most of our rooms.
All this is going to cost you, probably over $300, but remember, in our little fantasy world CBS is paying for all this anyway. Oh-he-ha.
