Alongside the pool is a restaurant under a conservatory roof, offering a menu of organic Andean cuisine.

Many suites have fireplaces and views of the hillside Inca site of Sacsayhuaman or Cusco's cathedral in the Plaza del Armas. Bathrooms feature under floor heating and Peruvian travertine marble. Other amenities include complimentary wireless Internet access, a la carte breakfast, iPad and iPhone with city-wide reception for guest use during their stay, espresso machine, in-room bar and Bose sound system. All accommodations are oxygen-enriched to ease the effects of the city's altitude.
