This hotel was, alongside Palacio Duhau in Buenos Aires, the most beautiful city property we stayed at in South America. Gorgeous flowers all over the sculpted staircases and lobbies. The restaurant offers an impressive tasting menu (reviewed separately) and they set up a little table for us in the bar to sample it given that the restaurant was full at the time we wandered down from our room. Breakfast is similarly impressive. We weren’t at the hotel for very long so cannot comment on most of the facilities but the rooms were luxurious and well appointed and the staff were friendly, I am sure this is the best hotel in Quito and would definitely recommend it.

Hotel's Favourite
We stayed four nights in a plaza view room. The room had ornate ceiling and wall detail, marble bathroom, very comfortable king bed, and windows opening up to the plaza below. We really enjoyed having this view as there is much going on every day in the plaza. We also had fun sitting on the steps watching the pigeons, people and activity. All staff were friendly and attentive. They served a nice breakfast each day with eggs to order, one morning they had a buffet. Recommend the Cafe Quinteno which was delicious! Another highlight was a half day private city tour with Juan Carlos, who the Concierge arranged for us. Memorable time!

A luxurious hotel conveniently located in the Old City with a phenomenal staff throughout. Enjoy their delicious breakfast, have at least one dinner, take advantage of their massage service and if the weather is accommodating plan to spend some time in their gorgeous garden area. Make sure you go to the terrace rooftop to take in the sites of San Francisco Square (and be sure to walk around to the left and take in a special site around sunset.

Great location, friendly staff, excellent restaurant, with a large clean room. The hotel is right in the center of Quito and short distances to tourist sites. Suggestion to take it slow due to the altitude. Hotel was very quiet even though it's in a busy section. All linens and towels were good quality.

Spectacular! The view from our room, over the beautiful church and plaza of San Francisco, was breathtaking. This hotel is beautifully laid out and decorated to preserve the elegance of the original mansion. Every space is gorgeous and our guest room was amazing. The staff were friendly, accommodating and professional. This is a perfect location to begin your exploration of Quito.

We spend 5 glorious days in the beautiful hotel. The staff is amazing and the breakfast is the best in the world, especially the tigrillo. The room was fantastic with a great view of Plaza Francisco. Perfect location to visit the highlights of Quito. We definitely come back.

This is a beautiful hotel and from the moment you walk in, until you leave, the service is top notch. The flowers in the lobby are most beautiful you have ever seen as they are grown in Ecuador. Our room was very comfortable, lovely bedding, nice lighting and spacious. We asked the hotel to arrange airport pick up and return service for us and both drivers were prompt and personable. We had to leave the hotel at 5:00 am. and they had a boxed breakfast ready for us to go when we came downstairs. The enormous wooden front door is amazing and is closed during the evening. We would definitely stay here again.

This was the best hotel I have ever stayed in. The hotel was elegant and staff treating us like royalty such as greeting us with an agua fresca. The terrace is a must see and cocktails and desserts are a must have.

Overall a nice experience. Checkin was a bit difficult and cumbersome, as the guy checking us in was not responsive to our needs and questions. He kept pushing the standard lenghty speech to us despite we were with altitude sickness. However after this we had a very nice stay with very friendly staff and good food. The hotel is beautiful both inside and outside - and it is very centrally placed.

We loved everything about this hotel: • The impeccable service standards. • The spacious, classic bedrooms (we loved it so much we stayed there twice) • The lavish rose displays & lovely garden • The rooftop terrace with views over San Francisco Square • The thick curtains & excellent soundproofing But best of all was the restaurant. We ate there three times & loved the chef's imagination, quality & attention to detail. Highly recommended!
