Similar in concept to the Sonesta Posadas del Inca, this very professionally run, midprice hotel is one of three — soon to be four — belonging to this upstart Peruvian hotel chain. Visitors to Casa Andina know what to expect: excellent service and clean, ample rooms that are colorfully decorated.
The hotel on San Agustín, 3 blocks from the main square, is built around a restful colonial courtyard and is in a somewhat quieter neighborhood, while the other two, smaller locations, are virtually on top of the Plaza de Armas. All have the same prices and same features (though the Cusco Catedral hotel has an Inca wall within the hotel). Look for the new, upscale “Private Collection” Casa Andina in a historic house near Qoricancha sometime in late 2006.
