Luxury Stay
The Plaza Grande is an old mansion that once belonged to Juan Díaz de Hidalgo before being converted to a hotel. This five-star hotel is decorated in a Spanish colonial era, and offers breathtaking views of the city. Ask the tour desk for help planning activities for the day, or pamper yourself in the hotel's spa. Finish the night off with dinner at one of the two hotel restaurants and experience national and international culinary specialties. Moderate Stay: The Hotel Café Cutltura is one of the hot spots in Quito. Relax during the day with a stroll through the lush gardens full of hummingbirds and doves, or visit the wood-paneled library filled with guidebooks, newspapers and magazines. Don't forget to grab a bite to eat at the cafe before heading out to go sightseeing. If you need help finding things to do, ask the Cultura desk for help. They will help you find museums, theaters, art galleries and even book tours for you. Affordable Stay: The Hotel San Francisco de Quito is one of Quito's most affordable hotels. Located in Historical Old Town, you are within walking distance to churches, beautiful plazas and museums. After your day of sightseeing, relax in the hotel's spa which includes a jacuzzi, steam room and sauna. Mahalo Suggests: While planning your trip, please see Quito Restaurants, Quito Tours, and Quito Vacation.
