Hotel de Turistas del Cusco, Cultural heritage hotel in Cusco, Peru.

The Hotel de Turistas del Cusco stands as a four-story building combining neocolonial architecture with art deco indigenous elements in central Cusco.

Constructed in 1944 during President Manuel Prado Ugarteche's administration, the hotel occupies the former location of Cusco's first mint established by King Charles II of Spain.

The structure received recognition as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1983 as part of the Historic City of Cusco designation.

Located at an elevation of 3,399 meters, the hotel provides accommodation options for travelers visiting Machu Picchu and the Sacred Valley region.

The building appeared in the 1954 film 'Secret of the Incas' with Charlton Heston, making it a landmark in early Hollywood productions in Peru.
