Hotel Libertador Tambo del Inka

The sprawling complex sits on the edge of Urubamba's curving river—all state-of-the-art, environmentally friendly rooms have hardwood floors, two beds, and great mountain views. The sophisticated restaurant specializes in a variety of Peruvian and international dishes, and the übertrendy bar features an entirely onyx-clad wall. With plenty of room to spare, the hotel also offers an on-site spa and fitness center. It was the first hotel in Peru to be granted the LEED certification (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design). Access to the Machu Picchu trains doesn't get any better: the hotel sits right across from Urubamba's rail station.
