Set at the foot of the mountains surrounding Machu Picchu on the banks of the Urubamba (known in this stretch as the Vilcanota River) river, the Sumaq Machu Picchu Hotel is an excellent option. Superb service and a beautiful setting with good views of the river and mountains, as arguably the best restaurant in the Machu Picchu area make Sumac one of our favourite options in the Machu Picchu area. All rooms have a clean modern finish, with design inspiration from Machu Picchu. All are spacious and comfortable with hypo-allergenic pillows, alpaca blankets, wool throws, 46 superior rooms, 11 junior suites with views of the river, and 3 special suites. The hotel offers spa facilities, with massage, sauna and hydrotherapy treatments and has a strong sustainability focus led by the family owners.
