The soaring, skylit lobby, part atrium, part greenhouse, sets an unexpectedly tropical tone for a mountain city.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set in the northern business district, the location offers easy access to historic Old Town and the Pichincha volcano cable car.
The rooms
Floor-to-ceiling windows frame views across the city to snow-capped Cotopaxi volcano, paired with marble bathrooms and deep soaking tubs.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated outdoor pool winds under a footbridge and palm trees, bordered by volcanic stone walls and whirlpools.
The spa and gym
Mosaic whirlpool tubs and Turkish steam baths sit inside Zumay Spa, alongside treatment rooms and a wood-floored yoga studio.
At the table
Raíces prepares contemporary Ecuadorian dishes with ancestral Andean ingredients, and Kaori serves sushi along a glowing backlit bar.
