"Located in a former 16th-century monastery with all the furnishings of a modern-day stay, this 126-room property has been on the World's Best list more than 15 times in the awards' 27-year history. Guests are encouraged to slow down and savor local life – and traditional coca tea – as they adjust to the city's high altitude. Religious artwork pays homage to the building's past life, while a daylong Pisco-and-opera experience combines cocktail tastings and dinner at El Tupay restaurant with a live opera performance." - Samantha Falewée
