Hotel Boutique Santa Lucia

In the heart of Cuenca’s historic center, steps from Calderon Park and within a short walk of the Old and New Cathedrals, museums and the University’s Orchid Garden. This boutique, family-friendly hotel sits amid the city’s plazas and cobbled streets.

Housed in a restored Republican/Victorian building dating to 1859, the property mixes period details with modern styling. There are 20 individually decorated rooms with memory-foam beds and down comforters, minibars and espresso makers, LCD TVs and private bathrooms with designer toiletries. Shared spaces include a terrace, garden and a small library—ideal for slow, city-center mornings.

Take in views from the terrace and garden, stay connected with complimentary wired and wireless internet, and use concierge services or the on-site hair salon. Babysitting and shuttle/airport transfers are available for a surcharge; valet and self-parking are offered. Guests enjoy a daily complimentary reception, a coffee shop/cafe, a bar/lounge and limited-room service. Tour assistance and excursion bookings are available on the property.

A 24-hour business center, complimentary wired and wireless internet, conference space and a meeting room make this a practical choice for events. Limo/town car service and express check-in are also offered.

On-site dining highlights local and regional flavors with two acclaimed restaurants—one serving modern Ecuadorian nouvelle cuisine and the other an Italian trattoria well regarded locally. A coffee shop offers snacks, the bar/lounge pours evening drinks, and a complimentary cooked-to-order breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM to 11:00 AM.
