Rooted in the original plan of colonial Cusco, Casa Clara has lived many lives — from convent to aristocratic home — and now stands as a restored landmark where history and quiet elegance converge.
Casa Clara occupies a two-story colonial house built with local stone and wood. Arched patios, carved balconies, and tiled roofs preserve the quiet grace of Cusco’s traditional homes.
Once part of the Monastery of Santa Clara, founded in 1558 as a retreat for the daughters of conquistadors. The Clarist nuns later moved to a new site, leaving behind a structure that still carries the imprint of devotion and history.
This house, now converted into a boutique hotel, was once home to the Monastery of Santa Clara, founded in 1558 as a place of retreat for the daughters of the conquistadors—the first Spanish settlers who arrived in Cusco during the time of the conquest. By order of Viceroy García Hurtado de Mendoza, the Clarist nuns were relocated to a new site in the early 17th century.
A classic layout of entrance hall and twin patios defines the house’s mestizo character — architecture shaped by tradition, where form and craft have withstood time and tremors alike.
Former home of the iconic Fallen Angel, Casa Clara has been reimagined as an intimate retreat. The same space that once defined Cusco’s creative nights now offers calm, design, and timeless character.
