Hotel Plaza Grande Quito

PROPERTY

• Successfully combining the colonial with the contemporary, this luxurious hotel is the place for elite to gather. The building, painted a creamy yellow with white finish, stands on the corner overlooking the central plaza, where old-timers meet to discuss politics and two distinguished guards stand sentry at the entrance of the Presidential Palace. Its quaint balconies, arched windows and colorful façade (reminiscent of many colonial structures in the district) lend old-world charm to this neoclassical and eclectic structure. Inside the hotel, enormous bouquets of Ecuadorian flowers – bromeliad and canna flowers, roses, carnations – decorate every surface. Candelabras adorn the walls, evoking memories of the early 1900s.
  
• Chandeliers hang grandiosely from the ceilings. Guests can request spa services, which feature baths based on ancient Inca rituals and beliefs. They may also enjoy a night on the town touring Quito’s colorfully lit Historic District in a romantic horse and buggy ride. Whatever the reason for being in Quito, this hotel offers the best that Quito’s colonial past and modern present can give.
