Plaza Grande

Housed in the meticulously restored former home of one of Quito's founding fathers, this stylish 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 feature such perks as soundproofed windows and doors, 42-inch 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 restaurants and wine cellar match the high standards set by the rooms, and the spa is small but delightful. Prices here 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 Quito hotel can match the Plaza Grande's intimacy, history, location, and luxury.
