In the heart of Cusco, Casa Cartagena Boutique Hotel & Spa stands as a timeless sanctuary, honored with the prestigious Blue Shield, an international distinction bestowed by UNESCO upon monuments of extraordinary cultural significance.
Built upon the foundations of an ancient Incan complex and exquisitely restored, this colonial mansion is one of only eight in Cusco designated as a Cultural Heritage Site of the Nation, ensuring its legacy is preserved for generations to come. Within its storied stone walls—once home to Incan and colonial nobility—centuries of history and mysticism remain ever-present.
Casa Cartagena—where heritage and elegance converge in perfect harmony.
Steeped in history, Casa Cartagena bears the name of its official heritage designation: Casa Don Fernando Cartagena y Santa Cruz, honoring its former owner, Cusco’s royal commissioner in 1640.
Built upon the sacred foundations of an ancient Incan complex, this storied estate once housed the empire’s noble elite. Today, its hand-carved stone walls and centuries-old colonial frescoes have been exquisitely restored, preserving their essence while elevating them into a Cultural Heritage Monument of Peru, safeguarded by UNESCO.
