Quito Hotel Rooms

With maximum capacity of a 63 guests, 11 suites and 21 rooms Standards, a restaurant, a cava-bar, a library, and with fully equipped amenities through out the hotel without leaving aside the traditional value that is being offered in its typical colonial style.  The hotel occupies two patios of an old Quito mansion, one behind the other, comprising the former residence of the 17th–century Marqués de Jerez and a string of noble families down the centuries. The adaptation of the buildings was intelligently done, covering the patios with glass roofs, although the poor ventilation in the hotel is probably its biggest drawback.

The first, street–side patio is occupied by the good Ecuadorian–International restaurant, which has a generous breakfast buffet, a lunchtime set–menu and a decent á–la–carte menu in the evenings. They also serve a range of traditional Ecuadorian small dishes, including a selection platter, which is a great way to discover the country's local cuisine.

The rooms are distributed over two levels of the two patios. The ones to go for are the duplex models located in the first patio. Six of these give on to the main street below, while the remaining five all enjoy an inner balcony up in the eaves of the glass roof giving onto the patio. The street–side rooms are quiet despite the traffic noise, but the hotel perhaps overdid it, in that you can't actually open the French windows to poke your head out and people watch at all. All the duplex rooms come with a large bed and TV on the lower level, with a sofa, armchairs and bathroom upstairs.

The rooms in the rear patio, despite being of a good, comfortable size, all suffer from lack of light and air. Their single windows give onto the patio alone. By the late afternoon, the ones at the back are decidedly gloomy.
