The Wyndham Costa del Sol Cusco hotel has both colonial and modern sections; rooms in each offer similar comfort, with the colonial wing showcasing traditional Peruvian details and historic architectural features.
Picoaga Wyndham Costa del Sol Cusco
Originally the mansion of the 17th‑century Spanish nobleman Marquis de Picoaga, the hotel retains its authentic colonial ambiance with luxurious furnishings, fine stone archways and columns, elegant capitals, and a classic Spanish patio, complemented by the modern amenities expected from a polished city hotel in Cusco’s historic center.
Costa del Sol Wyndham Cusco Hotel 4-star heritage hotel Calle Santa Teresa 344, Cusco Historic Center, Cusco, Peru
Costa del Sol Wyndham Cusco Hotel occupies the former mansion of the Marquis of Picoaga, just two blocks from the Plaza de Armas in Cusco’s historic center. Its colonial courtyard, fountain, stone arches, and historic character give the hotel a strong sense of place, while its central location makes it an excellent base for exploring the city.
The Hotel Experience
Atmosphere / Setting
Costa del Sol Wyndham Cusco has real character. Set in one of Cusco’s older mansions, it draws its appeal from a central courtyard, historic architectural details, painted walls, carved wood accents, and the quiet charm of its colonial setting. Although the hotel sits in the heart of the historic center, it feels calm, sheltered, and more intimate than many nearby properties.
Accommodations
The hotel offers 88 rooms and suites across a range of categories, including Standard, Superior, Colonial, Junior Suite, Deluxe Colonial, Colonial Suite, Superior Suite, Family Suite, and Accessible Colonial.
Standard and Superior rooms offer a comfortable base for exploring Cusco, while the Colonial categories bring more of the hotel’s historic character into the stay. Guests who want more space may prefer the Junior Suite or one of the larger suites, which suit longer stays or special trips.
Dining & Bars
Paprika Restaurant is the hotel’s main dining venue and gives the property a stronger culinary identity than many city-center hotels. The menu brings together Peruvian and international dishes in a polished setting, making it a convenient and appealing choice for both lunch and dinner after a day of sightseeing.
Walak Bar, located on the first floor, offers a more relaxed space for cocktails, snacks, and evening drinks, while the hotel’s Cava adds an extra touch of personality with its exclusive wine cellar concept. Breakfast is also served on site, an important advantage for guests with early departures for the Sacred Valley, Machu Picchu, or Cusco city tours.
Neighborhood Guide
Shopping & Dining
One of the hotel’s biggest advantages is its setting in the historic center, where restaurants, churches, museums, shops, and plazas are all within easy reach. Guests can step outside and quickly connect with some of Cusco’s best-known dining addresses and pedestrian streets.
Ofrenda Peruvian Healthy Food is a nearby option for fresh, polished Peruvian cuisine with a lighter approach. Morena Peruvian Kitchen, on the Plaza de Armas, is a lively choice for modern Peruvian and Latin fusion dishes. Organika is especially popular with travelers looking for organic and healthy cooking inspired by Sacred Valley produce. Kusykay Peruvian Craft Food offers Peruvian fusion cuisine with a strong emphasis on local ingredients. INKAGRILL remains one of the classic dining stops near the main square, with a menu that blends Peruvian and international flavors.
Scenic / Outdoor
This is a very walkable part of Cusco. From the hotel, you can stroll to the Plaza de Armas, explore the surrounding stone streets and arcades, head uphill toward San Blas for artisan workshops and city views, or walk toward San Pedro Market for a more local and everyday side of the city. Even short walks from the hotel reveal the texture that makes Cusco so memorable.
For travelers using Cusco as a base, the location is also practical for short excursions to Sacsayhuamán, Qenqo, and the Sacred Valley. While the property is urban rather than nature-oriented, it offers the convenience to combine sightseeing, dining, shopping, and day tours with very little wasted time in transit.
Cultural Attractions
The hotel is surrounded by some of the city’s most important historic landmarks. Iglesia de La Merced, just a short walk away, is one of Cusco’s best-known colonial churches and an important part of the historic center’s religious and architectural legacy. Qorikancha, the former Temple of the Sun later incorporated into Santo Domingo, remains essential for understanding the layered history of Inca and Spanish Cusco.
You are also close to the Plaza de Armas, the cathedral, and the famous Twelve-Angled Stone, making this an excellent address for travelers who want their hotel stay to feel fully connected to the cultural heart of the city.
