History
Inkaterra La Casona occupies an early-16th-century colonial manor on Plaza Nazarenas in Cusco, Peru — said to be the first colonial building raised on Inca foundations after the siege of the city, on the site of a former Inca academy. Over the centuries it housed figures including the conquistador Diego de Almagro and, in 1825, the liberator Simón Bolívar.
Restored by Inkaterra, it opened around 2009 as Peru's first Relais & Châteaux property, offering just eleven suites arranged around a colonial courtyard, blending Andean heritage with discreet luxury.
The setting
Inkaterra La Casona occupies Plaza Nazarenas 211, beside the Museum of Pre-Columbian Art on Cusco's most storied square, a UNESCO-protected enclave at the heart of the ancient Inca capital.

The Twelve Angled Stone, Cusco Cathedral, and Inka Museum are each two minutes on foot; Plaza de Armas four minutes through cobblestoned lanes; and Qorikancha, the Inca Temple of the Sun, nine minutes south. Shared with a cluster of landmark luxury properties, Plaza Nazarenas is Cusco's premier enclave for travelers seeking immersion in layered Andean history. 1 km from Saqsaywaman Incan complex.
