Motto by Hilton Cusco: Big Culture, Small Footprint in the Heart of the Imperial City
Hilton’s bold micro-hotel brand lands in South America—count us in.
Cusco Gets a Motto Moment
With Motto by Hilton Cusco, the global micro-hotel brand makes its South American debut—and it’s doing so in serious style. This $5 million stunner sets up shop just steps from Plaza de Armas and the Temple of the Koricancha, offering a tightly edited 58-room stay packed with texture, history, and Cusco soul.
Small Rooms, Big Storytelling
Design here is anything but generic. The Killke and Inca cultures serve as the through line, inspiring everything from the stonework and color palettes to the replica terraces and waterfalls tucked into the courtyards. Each room is a sleek, compact haven—smart tech, top-tier mattresses, and soundproofing come standard—but it’s the thoughtful layering of local materials and cultural references that elevates the vibe. Need room to maneuver? Motto’s clever configurations have you covered—from Flex beds that fold into walls to The Bunkie (bunk beds done right), plus Confirmed Connecting Rooms for group getaways.
Commons Ground & Cusqueñan Cool
True to Motto form, the Motto Commons is where travelers and locals collide. Think comfy co-working nooks, buzzing café energy, and design-forward interiors that tap into Cusco’s creative rhythm. The hotel’s Dig restobar adds a culinary curveball—ancient Inca flavors meet modern flair, with a side of live music and late-night cocktails. It’s equal parts neighborhood hangout and destination dining.
DNA Hotels Verdict
Compact, cultural, and undeniably clever, Motto by Hilton Cusco is the micro-hotel redefined—one that feels deeply rooted in place while embracing global energy. Whether you’re solo, social, or traveling deep with friends and fam, this is a basecamp for modern explorers who want their stay smart, stylish, and fully plugged into Cusco’s living legacy.
