Cusco’s New J.W. Marriott Hotel – Much More Than Just a Hotel

Cusco has seen the opening of many new hotels over the last few years, but none quite as big and expensive as the new J.W. Marriott Cusco. Could this be the finest luxury hotel property in Cusco, if not Peru?

Just a few days ago the large metal fencing that has been covering the facade of the hotel was removed, revealing for the first time the beautifully renovated building of the brand new J.W. Marriott Hotel Cusco. Understated in appearance, the large white building featuring a tall wooden central door is the culmination of a 6 year project rumoured to have cost in excess of 80 million US Dollars. This week I was lucky enough to take a sneak preview of the hotel just a few days before it was fully open to the public.
