Best Time to Visit

From my experience, the sweet spot for visiting Hotel Imperial Abancay is between April and October – that’s when the weather plays nice and you’ll get those gorgeous clear days perfect for sightseeing. The dry season brings comfortable temperatures and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the surrounding areas.

But here’s a local secret – May and September are particularly magical months. The tourist crowds are thinner, and you might even score better room rates. The mornings are crisp and cool, perfect for enjoying that complimentary breakfast on the terrace, while afternoons stay pleasantly warm.

How to Get There

Getting to Hotel Imperial Abancay isn’t too complicated, though it did take me a minute to figure it out my first time. If you’re flying in, the nearest airport is Andahuaylas Airport, about a few hours’ drive away. Most folks either take a taxi or arrange a private transfer through the hotel (which I totally recommend – way less hassle).

If you’re coming by bus from Cusco or Lima, several reliable companies run daily routes to Abancay. Once you’re in town, the hotel is pretty easy to find – just show any local taxi driver the name, and they’ll know where to go. Pro tip: save the hotel’s phone number in your phone – the staff are super helpful with directions if your driver needs them.

Tips for Visiting

Listen, I learned a few things during my stays here that might make your visit even better. First off, ask for a room on the upper floors – they tend to be quieter and some have pretty sweet views of the surrounding area. If you’re planning to cook in your room, there’s a decent little market about 10 minutes away where you can grab fresh ingredients.

The WiFi tends to be strongest in the common areas, so if you need to do any serious online work, the lobby’s actually a pretty comfortable spot to set up. Oh, and don’t skip breakfast – it starts at 7 AM, and the fresh bread and fruits are always best right when they put them out.

Bring a light jacket even in summer – Abancay’s weather can be unpredictable, and evenings tend to cool down quite a bit. And definitely chat with the front desk staff about local recommendations – they pointed me toward some amazing local restaurants and attractions I wouldn’t have found otherwise.

Also, while the hotel offers free parking, spaces can fill up during peak season. If you’re driving in, try to arrive before 6 PM to ensure you snag a spot. And one last thing – if you’re a light sleeper, pack some earplugs. While the hotel itself is quiet, sometimes the local roosters have their own ideas about when morning should start!
