JW Marriott Hotel

Frommer's Review

Quito's most luxurious large business-class hotel, the JW Marriott features perhaps the best rooms and facilities in town. Service is top-notch, the restaurants are fantastic, and the large pool with its central Jacuzzi island and waterfalls makes you feel as if you've escaped to a tropical resort. You enter each room through a carved wooden door that looks as though it should open onto an old-fashioned den. But instead of a den you'll find a large room with colorful bedspreads, heavy wood furniture, and comfy chairs. Most rooms offer views of either the city or of the volcanoes. (If you can, opt for the volcano view; my least favorite rooms have views of the glass-enclosed lobby.) The large marble bathrooms are wonderful -- all have separate tubs and showers. La Hacienda restaurant offers delicious local specialties in an elegant setting, while Bistro Latino is the hotel's buffet restaurant. The lobby features a small sushi bar to round out the culinary offerings. The gym here is large and well-equipped with a regular slate of classes and activities. Executive-level rooms and suites include a buffet breakfast and other perks.
