Anyone who wants to kick off their Ecuadorian adventure in comfort and style, making the most of Quito’s eclectic culture, before jetting off to the Galapagos and beyond.
La Casona de La Ronda Hotel is in La Ronda, the oldest part of central Quito.
The 22 rooms at La Casona de La Ronda Hotel have lively interiors that bring the colour of La Ronda inside, whilst providing a comfortable haven from the hustle and bustle of Quito’s winding streets.
Not only is La Casona de La Ronda Hotel owned by a famous Quito restaurateur, there are adventurous and rustic places to eat around every corner. Whether you want to grab some empanadas at a chilli-laced eatery, or feast at one of the many international restaurants, Quito has it all.
In beautiful and historic La Ronda, once famous for its shadowy artists’ haunts, you will find a myriad of tiny restaurants and bars nestling under the Baroque architecture, as well as quirky shops, art galleries, and the local museum. As you explore Quito further you can take in the lavish and ornate interiors of colonial churches, the Plaza de San Francisco, before seeing it in all its spectacular glory from the top of El Panecillo.
La Ronda is reportedly home to the world’s narrowest bar Inte Peña (it’s barely an arm-span wide!), so try squeezing in and sampling the Ecuadorian favourite, Canelaso.
