Hotel de Turistas del Cusco, Cultural heritage hotel in Cusco, Peru.
The Hotel de Turistas del Cusco is a four-story building in central Cusco that combines neocolonial architecture with art deco elements and indigenous artistic forms. The structure houses guest rooms and public spaces designed to serve visitors exploring the surrounding region.
The building was constructed in 1944 under President Manuel Prado Ugarteche on the site of Cusco's first mint established during Spanish colonial rule. This placement connects the city's colonial past to its modern era.
The building blends indigenous artistic traditions with modern design, showing how local cultural elements were woven into 20th-century construction. Visitors can observe this mixture in the rooms and details that reflect the city's cultural identity.
The location is at high altitude in the Andes, so visitors should plan time to adjust to the elevation. The central position makes it easy to reach other historical sites and serves as a starting point for visits to the surrounding areas.
The building was the filming location for a 1950s Hollywood film starring Charlton Heston, which brought international recognition beyond Peru. This movie connection makes it a landmark in early cinema history in South America.
