Belmond Sanctuary Lodge, Machu Picchu, Peru
The only hotel adjacent to Machu Picchu, with magnificent gardens and excellent excursions, few ever forget the unearthly peace that descends when the day's visitors have left the fabled ancient site. And thanks to the hotel's unparalleled access giving hotel guests the opportunity to visit the mystifying Inca citadel before and after the tour groups arrive and leave, it's all yours.
