Excellent staff + spot made for an amazing time!
Our stay at Sanctuary was perfect. I planned our Peru trip as a DIYer. I like choosing where I am and for what length of time, and where I splurge and where I save. To say that our stay at Sanctuary was excellent value sounds hard to believe, but it's the thought that keeps coming to mind. The property itself is beautiful, well-appointed, suited gorgeously to its site... the common spaces, the restaurant, the grounds are all excellent and very welcoming. The access to Machu Picchu is unparalleled. Staying at Sanctuary made our 6:00am circuit easy and gave us a base after a full morning before we re-entered the site for the afternoon. What really stands out though is the people. Alex, a member of the concierge team, was the first person that I spoke to on property. For a month he would check in as we discussed the various Machu Picchu circuits, whether and when a guide would be helpful, the timing of our Vistadome trains, bus tickets from Aguas Calientes, etc. Seeing Machu Picchu was the dream and having Alex as our wing-man gave us complete peace of mind that it would come together perfectly. The fact that he was waiting to greet us when our bus pulled in, and was the last person to see us off when we departed meant so much. He oversaw every detail of our stay and went way above and beyond to make it a lifetime memory. We are so grateful for his attention, skill and heart. Also of special note are Karen (concierge), Freddy (bartender extraordinaire), John + Diego (transfers).

Location, location, location! This property is right next to the entrance to Machu Picchu which was wonderful for a 6am entrance time and we were the first ones climbing Huayna Picchu Mountain which was magnificent! But it's not just the location. This luxury hotel has a wonderful staff and in particular, the bar staff were so much fun showing us how to make local drinks and doing some taste testing. Loved it all!

Relaxing and convenient.
Great place to splurge for a night. We ended up having an "all inclusive" experience. (Food and drink.) Which helped make it feel more "worth it". At the end of the day it is a lot of money for one night, and I bet you could do pretty well in Aguas Calientes for a fraction of the cost and the only real difference is you've gotta take a 20 min bus ride up to Machu Picchu. All that said, the hotel is nice, the staff were wonderful and it was comfortable and clean. It's really up to the individual as to whether or not it's "worth it."

Amazing hotel with an unbeatable location. The service was brilliant with Sebastian and John being so welcoming on arrival at the train station and helpful on departure including assisting me with gifts from the market. I was unexpectedly provided with free champagne and chocolates as a welcome gift. The room was fantastic with a very comfortable bed. The breakfast experience on the terrace with the sound of the waterfalls and a clear view of Machu Picchu was a once in a lifetime experience.

Spent a night here after the 4 Day Inka trail to give ourselves the opportunity to return to MP in the afternoon for sunset and again early next morning for sunrise. The room was excellent but the food and service were impeccable. Worth every penny especially with full boarding included. We enjoyed being pampered for a day at the end of the long hike.

Once in a lifetime experience!
Hands down the best way to do Machu Picchu. From John and Alex helping coordinate pickup and transportation to the lodge, to Orlando’s warm welcome at check-in, to Victor’s excellent service at the bar and restaurant, everyone at Sanctuary Lodge went above and beyond to provide unparalleled service. The views, property grounds, food and drinks, service and accommodations are all 5 stars. Access to the Bellond lounge at Aguas Caliente train station was also very useful after Machu Picchu trek and checking out. Overall it was worth every penny and a memorable experience to stay at Sanctuary Lodge!

Extremely wonderful stay
The Belmond Sanctuary Lodge at Machu Picchu was a superb and extraordinary hotel. The location near the entrance to the citadel makes this hotel so unique. The staff were extremely attentive and accommodating. They addressed us by our names and their kind and sincere interaction s with us made us feel like a part of the family.
