Frommer's Review

Old Town's newest hotel is also its most plush and ambitious. Housed in the meticulously restored former home of one of Quito's founding fathers, Juan Díaz de Hidalgo, this stylish boutique hotel is opulent and grand. The all-suite hotel fronts the Plaza de la Independencia (Plaza Grande), and the best rooms have large windows and French doors overlooking the plaza. All rooms are beautifully done and feature such perks as soundproofed windows and doors, 107cm (42-in.) flatscreen televisions, Jacuzzi tubs in large bathrooms with heated floors, and fine cotton linens and down comforters. The decor is refined, with heavy drapes, plush furnishings, fine fabrics, and tasteful art and tapestries on the walls. The hotel's main restaurant and wine cellar match the high standards set by the rooms, and the small but delightful spa is a great place to pamper yourself. Service is prompt, attentive, and friendly. Because this place is new, their prices are well above those at most other high-end hotels in Quito -- in most cases more than two to three times as high as other upscale options. But no other downtown hotel can match the Plaza Grande in terms of intimacy, location, and luxury.

Facilities:
2 restaurants; cafe; bar; lounge; small, well-equipped spa; sauna; concierge; tour desk; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; laundry service
