"Originally the home of the Marques de Picoaga. This beautiful colonial building has a large original bedrooms set at around shady courtyard and a modern section."

"The front half of this hotel consists of a colonial building with rooms arranged around an attractive arcaded courtyard, originally the 17th-century home of the Marquis of Picoaga. Behind is a modern wing with a restaurant that overlooks the Plaza de Armas. The rooms are a bit worn, but the colonial building itself is attractive. Opt for one of the older, quieter colonial rooms facing the courtyard."

"A very nice, more reasonably priced alternative to Cusco's top two luxury hotels, Picoaga also occupies a historic building -- in this case a 17th-century mansion that once belonged to a Spanish nobleman, the marquis of Picoaga. Just minutes from the Plaza de Armas, the hotel is set around a lovely arcaded courtyard -- or, at least, one portion of it is. A newer wing is in a dated and much less appealing modern section at the rear of the hotel."
