Belmond Sanctuary Lodge - Hotel in Machu Picchu, Peru. Gardens of Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge. Located in the back of the building, in these gardens is possible to see many native plants and flowers including many orchids, of which there are over 300 species throughout the Sanctuary of Machu Picchu. Belmond Sanctuary Lodge is the only hotel located adjacent to the ancient citadel of Machu Picchu and the best hotel by which to explore the beautiful surrounding area. One of the world's major heritage sites, Machu Picchu is a sacred and magical place of spectacular sunrises and mystical moonlit nights. Offering luxury accommodation, simply composed Peruvian cuisine with delightful little touches, Belmond Sanctuary lodge is the perfect place to relax and unwind in the shadow of the Lost City. Belmond Sanctuary Lodge is a small hotel situated at the entrance to the Machu Picchu Inca citadel. It is the only hotel at this World Heritage Site, and can be accessed by foot or by rail. The explorer Hiram Bingham rediscovered Machu Picchu in 1911 and the site of this hotel was used as a place for researchers to stay from 1911 to 1946. The site included storage rooms where tools needed for work on the site could be kept. The site changed hands several times, becoming the property of the regional government of Cusco before passing to Orient-Express Hotels Ltd. The property was then renovated under the supervision of Peru's National Institute of Culture.
