Inkaterra Hacienda Urubamba is featured in this year's It List, celebrating the best new hotels around the globe. Located in the Sacred Valley of the Incas, it is the only Peruvian hotel included in this prestigious catalogue, and shares honors in South America with Four Seasons Casa Medina (Bogota, Colombia). According to the Travel+Leisure staff, "Its 36 rooms are an homage to Andean craftsmanship, with exposed eucalyptus beams and handmade furniture. When you're not lying in bed, staring agape at the forested countryside and surrounding mountains, you can tour nearby ruins like Ollantaytambo or visit the property's 10-acre farm, where lima beans and medicinal herbs are grown for use in the restaurant."
Destined to become "instant classics", the properties ranked at the It List 2016 (to appear in Travel+Leisure's March edition) stand out due to three special factors: "a killer location, impeccable design, and the ability to bring something totally new to the table."
