This recognition places Peru among the world’s tourism elite.
Peru continues to strengthen its position as a must-visit destination for travelers around the globe. For the first time, the prestigious Michelin Guide has included South America in its renowned Michelin Keys — a new distinction celebrating hotels that embody global excellence in hospitality, design, service, and authenticity.
In this regional debut, a total of 14 Peruvian hotels has been honored for their quality and dedication to delivering an exceptional guest experience, proving that Peru captivates not only with its history, cuisine, and landscapes, but also with its world-class hospitality.
Which Peruvian hotels earned Michelin Keys?
Las Casitas, A Belmond Hotel stands out as a dreamlike retreat. Nestled in the majestic Colca Canyon, within the Colca Valley in the Arequipa region, it received three Michelin Keys, the highest distinction — and is the only hotel in Peru to achieve this honor. Surrounded by mountains, ancient terraces, and condors gliding across the sky, this property perfectly embodies the balance between luxury, nature, and Andean culture. The sense of peace you feel here is simply extraordinary!
Peru continues to win hearts with a constellation of hotels that reflect its warm and diverse spirit. Picture waking up to the breathtaking Lake Titicaca (Puno region) at the exclusive Titilaka Hotel, where the sky seems to meet the water; or experiencing colonial charm reimagined at Cirqa, in the heart of Arequipa — a gem that beautifully combines history, elegance, and serenity.

In Cusco, the cradle of the Inka Empire, Inkaterra La Casona and Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba invite you to experience authentic Andean luxury — surrounded by sacred landscapes and experiences designed to reconnect you with nature and Peru’s living culture. Both sanctuaries earned two Michelin Keys.
And the journey continues. From the refined Atemporal in Peru’s capital, Lima — perfect for travelers seeking a stylish urban hideaway — to Explora Valle Sagrado, a contemporary design sanctuary and a true gem nestled in the Andes. Add to that the timeless charm of Tambo del Inka, the enchantment of Inkaterra Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel, just steps away from one of the Seven Wonders of the World, and the artistic soul of Hotel B, set in Lima’s bohemian Barranco district.
The Belmond Hotels collection also includes other distinguished properties: Monasterio, Palacio Nazarenas, and Río Sagrado — all located in Cusco and the Sacred Valley — along with Miraflores Park in Lima. Each received one Michelin Key, standing out for their elegance, personalized service, and deep connection to Peru’s cultural heritage.
Every hotel honored with Michelin Keysv offers something truly special: breathtaking landscapes, enduring traditions, and service that transforms every stay into an unforgettable experience. Traveling through Peru means immersing yourself in its authenticity, warm hospitality, and the endless wonder found in every corner.

What are the Michelin Keys?
The Michelin Keys are to the hotel world what the Michelin Stars are to gastronomy. Awarded in three levels — one, two, and three Keys — they recognize five universal criteria: architecture and interior design, quality and consistency of service, personality and character, value for money, and meaningful contribution to the local environment.
This international distinction not only highlights the excellence of Peru’s hospitality industry but also reinforces the country’s image as a truly holistic destination — where luxury is defined as a cultural and emotional experience, and every detail, from architecture to cuisine, invites travelers to embrace authenticity.
Traveling through Peru today means sleeping beneath the stars of Colca, waking up to the Andes in the Sacred Valley, or feeling the Pacific breeze in Lima. It is discovering a country that blends tradition and modernity, history and innovation, hospitality and heartfelt warmth.
With the Michelin Keys now opening their doors to the world, Peru reaffirms its place on the global tourism map — a destination where every experience becomes an unforgettable memory.
