Hotels near Machu Picchu

Machu Picchu is a 15th-century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru on a mountain ridge at 2,430 meters (7,970 ft). It is situated in the Machupicchu District of Urubamba Province about 80 kilometers northwest of Cusco, above the Sacred Valley and along the Urubamba River, which forms a deep canyon with a subtropical mountain climate.

459 hotels within 100km of Machu Picchu in Cusco Department, Peru, including 45 properties rated 4 stars or higher. The closest is Starlodge Adventure Suites, about 18.4km away.

Aguas Calientes, about 6km from the ruins, is the closest base and the only one where you don't rely on train timetables to get moving — a shuttle bus takes you up the mountain road to the entrance in minutes. This makes it ideal if you want to be first through the gates or need flexibility for an early climb of Huayna Picchu. Hotels here include ANTURIOS HOUSE, Kuntur House Machupicchu, Hotel Rojas Machupicchu, and Qoya Classic.

Ollantaytambo, roughly 40km out, is a good middle ground: a real, historic Inca town with its own ruins, from which you take the train to Aguas Calientes and then the shuttle bus up. Options range from El Albergue Ollantaytambo and Parwa Guest House to the more upscale Sol Ollantay Exclusive Hotel and Las Qolqas Eco Resort.

Urubamba, about 55km away, works well for travellers wanting a slower-paced Sacred Valley stay with resort-style comfort — you transfer by road or train to Ollantaytambo first, then take the train onward to Aguas Calientes. Choices include Tambo del Inka, Casa Andina Premium Valle Sagrado, Rio Sagrado, and Taypikala Deluxe Valle Sagrado.

Cusco, at ~75km, suits those combining Machu Picchu with city sightseeing and better flight connections, though it means a full train-plus-shuttle journey each way. Hotels include Antigua Casona San Blas, Sonesta Hotel Cusco, Casa Andina Premium Cusco, and Wyndham Costa del Sol Cusco.
