2. Carlota Sustainable Design Hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you\u2019re looking for a\u00a0boutique hotel in Quito<\/strong>\u00a0that combines sustainability, design and an extraordinary location, the Carlota is in a category of its own. At the Carlota, a century-old landmark building is brought to life by contemporary architecture and transformed into a thoroughly modern boutique hotel, where classic mansion style and cutting-edge art and design combine to create a uniquely memorable stay.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Carlota is the first LEED-certified hotel in Ecuador and the first LEED-certified design boutique hotel in a UNESCO Heritage site \u2014 a genuinely impressive distinction that goes beyond marketing. The hotel\u2019s eco-friendly installations feature a system that cleans and reuses 70% of the water consumed, and 30% of the energy used comes from solar power. Rooms are fitted with organic hypoallergenic alpaca duvets and pillows, custom-made furniture and private bathrooms with unique tile designs that evoke the birds and flora of Ecuador.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

In the heart of Quito, Carlota Sustainable Design Hotel is a tranquil oasis. Unwind with a rooftop view, indulge in regional cuisine at the Bistro or rejuvenate at the Golondrina spa. The 360-degree rooftop terrace is consistently the highlight for guests \u2014 with sweeping views of the surrounding volcanoes, the Panecillo hill and the cathedral rooftops spread out below, it\u2019s one of the finest vantage points in the city. The Bistro serves contemporary locally sourced Ecuadorian fare, and the wine cellar hosts tastings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The interior courtyard serves as an open lobby, creating a visual connection from the main entrance to the back patio, which presents a well-preserved stone staircase and a beautiful planted backdrop inspired by traditional Spanish gardens of Quito. Named for the owner\u2019s grandmother, who lived in the building from the 1960s, the Carlota has a warmth and personal quality that larger hotels can\u2019t replicate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Best for<\/strong>:
Eco-conscious travelers, design lovers, couples, solo travelers wanting a characterful Old Town base.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

3. Illa Experience Hotel<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There are luxury hotels, and then there is the Illa Experience. In Quito\u2019s UNESCO World Heritage Site, Illa Experience Hotel debuts as the city\u2019s first experience luxury hotel with the idea of reinventing and redefining what luxury travel entails. It is a boutique hotel transformed from a house from the 17th century, today inviting guests to stay at a home away from home at the highest luxury standards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With just 10 individually decorated suites spread across three floors, each floor represents a different era in Quito\u2019s history \u2014 the Colonial floor, the Republican floor and the Contemporary floor \u2014 so that the building itself becomes a journey through time. Every suite is unique: each contains three items that Ecuadorian grandmothers have traditionally made for the birth of new family members \u2014 a sheep\u2019s wool rug, a handmade embroidered cotton blanket, and pillowcases trimmed in lace. Much of the furniture has been locally handcrafted, and local artists have created distinctive wall paintings for each room.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

What truly sets the Illa apart is its philosophy of daily cultural immersion. Every day guests are invited to interact with locals and participate in unique traditions of the San Marcos neighborhood. These \u201cexperiences\u201d might include an ice-cream making session with a neighborhood se\u00f1ora, a visit to a nearby hat-maker crafting high-end Panama hats, a traditional toast with locally made sparkling wine, or a painting demonstration by a local artist. Guests rave about the daily interactive artisan experience from 5\u20136pm, learning about traditional Ecuadorian cocktails, getting to try local fruits, and getting fresh tea from their tea garden.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A highlight of an Illa stay is dinner at the hotel\u2019s Nuema Restaurant, a contemporary Ecuadorian dining destination operated by Chef Alejandro Chamorro. Nuema was an already popular and award-winning restaurant in Quito and has been named in the top 100 restaurants in the world. The chef trained with some of the world\u2019s leading culinary figures before returning to Ecuador to put a modern spin on traditional dishes \u2014 think lobster with fresh Ecuadorian herbs from the hotel\u2019s own garden, avocado cream and crispy sourdough. In 2023, the Illa Experience won the Gold Travvy Award for Best Luxury Hotel in South America.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The amenities are equally impressive for a 10-room property: a full spa with hydrotherapy and hot stone massages, a jacuzzi with views into a lush pocket garden, a wine cellar available for private tastings and dinners, and a fitness room. Guests receive hot chocolate before bed \u2014 an Ecuadorian tradition and, given the quality of chocolate grown in Ecuador, a genuinely memorable nightly ritual.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

Best for<\/strong>:
Travelers seeking a truly immersive cultural experience, honeymoons, small-group friends, anyone who wants their hotel stay to be as memorable as the destinations they visit.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
