El Albergue Ollantaytambo

Historic hotel at the train station with an organic farm and traditional Pachamanca cooking

Dining & Farm

El Albergue Ollantaytambo operates its own organic farm, supplying fresh produce for the on-site restaurant. The hotel offers a genuine Pachamanca cooking experience, a traditional meal cooked in an earth oven on the farm grounds. Guests can also visit the on-site master coffee roastery and distillery for tastings of local spirits and freshly roasted coffee.

Location & Activities

The hotel sits directly at the Ollantaytambo train station, giving guests direct access to trains for Machu Picchu. Bicycle rentals are available for exploring the nearby Ollantaytambo Ruins and Inca Village, both 800 meters away. The tour desk at El Albergue also offers customizable travel planning assistance for Sacred Valley excursions.

Rooms & Grounds

The hotel provides rooms with rustic style décor, featuring dark wooden beams and regional artwork, set around landscaped gardens. Accommodations range from standard rooms to superior double rooms with balconies offering mountain views, and family casitas with two separate sleeping areas. All rooms include heating and private bathrooms with showers, and some offer garden views.

Wellness & Entertainment

Guests at El Albergue Ollantaytambo can book a massage or use the on-site sauna facilities. The hotel organizes evening entertainment and happy hour, along with tours or classes about local culture. A path through the hotel's farm leads to a shortcut into town and to the ruins, avoiding the busy train station road.

Family & Services

The hotel offers family rooms and provides board games, puzzles, and kids' meals for younger guests. Airport shuttle service and luggage storage are available, with the hotel holding bags while guests visit Machu Picchu.
