"Once a 16th-century convent, JW Marriott El Convento Cusco in Peru is now a hotel that boasts original Peruvian colonial arches, ceramics from 800 C.E., and trinkets from its convent days. In the library, which includes a book documenting the history of the site and the construction of the hotel, you’ll also find furniture upholstered with handwoven fabrics from Peru’s Andean region and a patch of pre-Incan flooring." - Diana Spechler
