All visitors to Quito, but if you want a pool, look elsewhere. Great for a pre - or post- Galapagos dose of Ecuadorian culture.
In the heart of Quito’s old town, right on the main plaza, within walking distance of some great restaurants.
Just 15 exquisitely furnished suites are housed within this handsome colonial mansion. Views vary and are either of the side-street or the main square, but thanks to double glazed windows, you’re spared the traffic noise.
Three restaurants at Plaza Grande serve a variety of dishes from Mediterranean to Ecuadorian cuisine. Spa treatments can be arranged in your room if you need to unwind after a day’s sightseeing.
Quito is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, so spend time wandering around the cobbled streets of the old town admiring the beautiful architecture. You can also use Quito as a base from which to explore the Cotopaxi National Park with its snow-capped volcano or the famous Otavalo market, great for weekend bargain-hunting.
Quito stands at an altitude of over 2800 metres so take things easy when you first arrive.
