Also
The hotel has one Traditional room that’s suitable if you have reduced mobility, with a roll-in shower and handrails in the bathroom. However, the San Blas neighborhood is characterized by steep and cobbled roads, so call ahead if you’ll need a hand in reaching this stay.
At the hotel
Yoga room, charged laundry service and free WiFi throughout. In rooms: smart TV, tea-making kit, free glass-bottled water and organic bath products.
Our favourite rooms
Your days may take on a high-octane edge, with lofty hikes and adventurous escapades, but downtime is just as privileged at Antigua Casona San Blas. Some bedrooms overlook the lavender garden — with (seasonal) freshly picked stems placed in your room — and balconied Superiors are well placed for admiring this lilac-hued haven. The Xapiri Ground Art Suites are a collaboration with a non-profit organisation that works to protect the Amazon rainforest and its native communities. These suites are a celebration of local artwork, landscapes and craftsmanship.
Spa
You’ll find a clutch of altitude antidotes at the spa, where acclimatising comes in the form of sauna spells, Jacuzzi dips and Andean-herb-infused massages. The hotel’s hyperbaric chamber is a fast-track way to adjust to Cusco’s sky-high setting, and reflexology sessions or in-room candlelit soaks soothe any Inca Trail-fatigued limbs.
Packing tips
No need to bring your sleep accoutrements for post-hike unwinding: evening pampering is provided via bathside candles, a hot water bottle and nighttime tea. If you’re looking for a new playlist, the hotel shares theirs on Spotify.
Also
Take a deep breath and stretch out at the plant-adorned Exhale yoga studio; there’s a calendar of daily classes or book in for a private session (both are available for an additional charge).
Children
Welcome. A free baby cot for one under-two can be added to each room.
Sustainability efforts
Actions speak louder than words, an ethos adopted at B Corp-certified Antigua Casona San Blas. Solar panels provide energy; single-use plastic is eschewed in favor of glass options; furniture is crafted out of closely sourced materials, and all waste is recycled or composted. Your green-minded hosts offset their carbon footprint through donations and reforestation projects, plus the hotel partners with local charities and supports community initiatives.
