Storied History of the Casa Cartagena Hotel & Spa
Casa Cartagena takes its name from Don Fernando Cartagena y Santa Cruz, a Spanish colonial governor of Cusco who lived in this mansion in the 17th century. The building was restored using traditional adobe, wood, leather, and red ceramic roof tiles, carefully blending Inca stonework with colonial architecture.
The hotel offers 15–16 opulent suites across several categories, including spacious Master Suites and the spectacular Presidential and Royal Suites, many with balconies or terraces overlooking the interior courtyard and gardens. All suites feature enriched‑oxygen systems, generous living areas, and refined amenities designed to ensure a comfortable stay at Cusco’s altitude.
