Project Description

Peru Orient Express Hotels (POEH or the company), an existing IFC client, has approached IFC to provide an A Loan (IFC Loan) of up to $13.0 million to help the company:

- undertake a refurbishment of two of its properties in Peru, the Nazarenas Convent in Cusco and the El Parador del Colca Lodge in the Colca Valley; and
- refinance existing loans (the refinancing, and together with the refurbishment, the project, for a total of $29 million). The company presently operates the 32-room Machu Picchu Sanctuary Lodge, the 123-room Hotel Monasterio in the city of Cusco and the 7-room El Parador del Colca lodge in the Colca Valley.

- Nazarenas Convent

POEH has a concession agreement in place to operate the 17th century Nazarenas Convent. As a part of the project, the property will be transformed into a 55-room all-suite hotel.

- El Parador del Colca

This seven (7) room lodge will be refurbished and expanded into a 20-room property and branded and marketed as an Orient Express Hotel property. The Colca Lodge is located in the Colca Valley, which is one of the most scenic regions in Peru.
