The hotel's own Ayara Restaurant serves American, Argentine and Asian dishes, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options, and there is also a bar and cafe on site. Just outside, Avenida El Sol is lined with craft shops and restaurants, and the surrounding Wanchaq district is known for local set-menu places, chicken rotisseries, chifas and cevicherias. For a wider choice, the Plaza de Armas, also a 14-minute walk, has many dining options around its arcades.
You are on Avenida El Sol, a main avenue in Cusco's city center, with the historic core just a short walk away. Qorikancha is 7 minutes on foot, and the Plaza de Armas, Cusco Cathedral, and the Twelve Angled Stone are all about 13 to 14 minutes away. The hotel sits near the Cusco Craft Center and Orellana Pumaqchupan Park, and the Wanchaq train station is just 190 meters off. The neighborhood mixes colonial sights with everyday local life, including markets and shops. It is a flat, walkable area, ideal for exploring the city's main attractions on foot.
From Alejandro Velasco Astete International Airport, about 4 km away, take a taxi or pre-booked transfer; the ride is short and direct. If you arrive by train, Wanchaq Cuzco Train Station is just 190 m from the hotel, so it is an easy walk. The hotel also offers airport transfer service, which you can arrange ahead. From the station, head toward Avenida El Sol and you will find the hotel at number 1010. Taxis are readily available at both the airport and the station if you prefer not to walk.
In the evening, you can walk to Plaza de Armas, 14 minutes away, where the Cusco Cathedral and lively square are perfect for a stroll. The hotel's own bar and restaurant offer a relaxed spot for a drink or meal before heading out. For a different view, the Mirador desde el Cristo Blanco is a 22-minute walk, ideal for seeing the city lights. Qorikancha, just 7 minutes away, is also worth a visit in the evening. If you want more options, the area around the hotel has local restaurants and craft shops to explore.
Yes, Xima Exclusive Cusco is a great base for exploring the city. You can walk to Qorikancha in 7 minutes, the Twelve Angled Stone in 13, and the Plaza de Armas, Cusco Cathedral, and San Blas church in about 14 minutes each. The Mercado Central de San Pedro is also a 14-minute walk, and the Sapantiana Aqueduct is 19 minutes away. For a higher viewpoint, the Cristo Blanco mirador is a 22-minute walk. The hotel is on Avenida El Sol, a main avenue, and Wanchaq train station is just 190 meters away, handy for day trips. For farther sights like the Sacred Valley or Rainbow Mountain, the hotel can arrange tours, and taxis are easy to find on the avenue.
