Andenia Boutique Hotel

Style

Floral high ground

Setting

Incan idyll

Between intrepid Incan adventures, home-from-home comforts are found amid the gardens of Andenia Boutique Hotel, an Edenic stay in Peru’s Sacred Valley. Machu Picchu is within day-tripping distance, but there’s much to keep you occupied closer to home. Afternoons in the peak-gazing pool slide into nights nursing pisco cocktails by the fire. Learn cookery and crafts from locals, or lose hours wafting through the bountiful gardens, picking fruit fresh from the bough. These are temptations worth succumbing to.

Our Favourite Rooms

You’ll have mountain views and a private terrace or balcony whichever room you pick. Especially cozy evenings beckon in the Bungalows, each of which have a wood-burning stove and a window seat made for curling up with a book and your tipple of choice.

Poolside

The stone-paved pool occupies a grotto-like spot in the gardens, with a hot tub and an outdoor shower surrounded by tropical foliage. It’s open from 11am to 8pm.

Packing Tips

The mercury can be a little, well, mercurial round here, and nights get especially nippy, so lots of light layers are a must.

Also

Andenia’s gardens may have an air of Eden about them, but there’s no forbidden fruit here. You’re welcome to pick any fruit that takes as you wander through the hotel’s grounds.

Children

Welcome. Children up to four years old sharing an adult’s bed and breakfast stay for free. Cribs can be added to all rooms for children up to two years old, an extra bed can be added to Deluxe rooms, and some Bungalows have two bedrooms.

Food & Drink

Top Table

Out on the restaurant’s covered terrace, the scent of wildflowers and the occasional flit of a hummingbird makes for an atmospheric supper spot.

Dress Code

Laidback and layered up – throw on some blousey florals and you’ll fit right in.

Hotel Restaurant

The hotel’s restaurant spotlights classic Peruvian dishes like lomo saltado, a pepper-laced steak stir-fry, and locally caught trout ceviche. There are nourishing soups and salads, too, alongside border-crossing comfort food including pizza and burgers.

Hotel Bar

The lobby bar is your all-day refreshment spot, where every drink is proudly Peruvian. Start your morning here with locally grown coffee or tea from the hotel’s gardens, then return come sundown for pisco cocktails on the terrace.

Last Orders

Breakfast is served from 7am to 10am, lunch from 11am to 4pm, and dinner from 5pm to 8.30pm.

Room Service

If you’d rather dine out on your private terrace or balcony, dishes from the restaurant’s menu can be delivered to your room while the kitchen is open.

Planes

Cusco’s Alejandro Velasco Astete Airport is a 90-minute drive from Andenia. Direct flights touch down there from Lima and regional Peruvian hubs, as well as from Santiago. The hotel can arrange transfers on request for $45 each way.

Trains

The hotel is a 15-minute drive from Urubamba station, and around 45 minutes from Ollantaytambo station. Services to Urubamba are limited, but there are frequent daily departures from Ollantaytambo of both Peru Rail and Inca Rail trains, on a route from Cusco to Machu Picchu. Opt for Peru Rail’s Vistadome service for panoramic views, or the luxury Sacred Valley service for a wine-paired meal while you travel. The journey from Cusco to Ollantaytambo takes under two hours, and it’s an hour and a half to Machu Picchu. The hotel can book all train tickets and entrance tickets on request.

Automobiles

Trains and private tours will serve you best here. There’s no private parking at the hotel; if you plan to bring a car, you'll need to contact the hotel in advance.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

Let’s start with the headliner – from Andenia Boutique Hotel’s privileged position, Machu Picchu can be easily visited in a day trip. The hotel can help plan your outing there, along with Moray and the other Incan ruins of the Sacred Valley. A lesser-known ancient marvel, the Salt Mines of Maras predate the Incas; today, the thousands of ponds that make up the striking patchwork landscape are still owned and maintained by local families.

Get clued in on Andean culture with a ceramics class or a visit to a local village, learning about traditional crafts from weaving and dyeing to chocolate making. A cookery class with Andenia’s chef starts with gathering ingredients from the local market, before mastering some classic Peruvian dishes. Or try your hand at pachamanca, a type of traditional cooking using hot stones.

Guided yoga sessions run in the hotel’s gardens. But the Andes lend themselves to heart-racing adventures, too – options in easy reach include riding a paso horse, waterfall hikes, paddleboarding on an alpine lake, or mountain biking with dreamy Sacred Valley views.
