El Mercado is a fun, contemporary-themed and quirky hotel with a laid back atmosphere. It is a relatively new build and adds a more contemporary style of hotel to the myriad of options available in Cuzco.
El Mercado sits a few blocks away from the main square of Cusco, in a prime, central location. Enter its grounds for a colourful, friendly and casual atmosphere, in contrast to some of the other options which can feel more grand and colonial.
The hotel is built around a courtyard with comfy sofas and large parasols to protect you from the rays. The main area is comprised of a restaurant and a comfortable lantern-lit tavern, in which to collapse after days of exploration.
Having only 32 rooms means that El Mercado provides a relatively intimate service with perks such as daily local and world newspapers, personal travel assistance, room service, massages and special guest services on request.
The spontaneity of this hotel is really refreshing, with occasional pop-up street food market stalls on site, as well as the resident chef taking you to local markets and providing in-house cooking classes. Other than this, Cusco is your oyster! You are also in good striking distance of the dramatic countryside beyond.
