Marriott International has announced a plan for the opening of a luxury JW Marriott Hotel in Cusco, Peru in 2012.

The hotel is situated at the gateway to the Andes mountain sanctuary Machu Picchu. The 153-room property will feature customized design built around a colonial church and ancient Inca artifacts found on the site. It will also include a museum of prominent artefacts, many of which will be preserved in-situ.



The JW Cusco hotel will be built at an elevation of 11,200 feet above sea level, making it the first Marriott hotel to have an in-room supplemental oxygen system in all rooms to relieve altitude sickness.

JW Cusco Restaurant IncaWall will be featured in the hotel which will offer a distinctly colonial feel. All 153 rooms and suites will be equipped with bedding and bathrooms with soaking tub and separate shower, as well as the latest in-room technology. A lobby lounge, a restaurant, and spa treatment rooms are additional features of the hotel.

The JW Marriott Hotel Cusco will be operated under a management agreement with Inversiones La Rioja, S.A. owners of JW Marriott Hotel Lima.
