This is a beautiful and serene hotel in the heart of Cusco. It is in a great location; everything we wanted to see was within easy walking distance. The front desk staff went out of their way to make our stay comfortable. The rooms were modern and comfortable. The included breakfast was great. Too many excellent restaurants are nearby, so we didn't eat dinner there. If you're looking for a lively, rocking place, this isn't it. If you want elegance and peace, Casa Cartagena is it!
