Hostal Quito Cultural  

In the heart of Quito’s Old Town, in historic Barrio San Marcos. Steps from Independence Square and just two blocks from Plaza Grande and the Presidential Palace, this centrally located hostal puts Quito’s baroque gems — including the Catedral Metropolitana — on your doorstep. Family-friendly and pet-friendly, it’s an easy base to explore the UNESCO World Heritage streets.

Housed in an 18th‑century Beaux‑Arts building by a French architect, the hostal blends heritage bones with colorful, individually decorated rooms. Rooms feature wooden floors, painted walls, city views and private bathrooms (some with rainfall showers); several rooms include private balconies or patios. Shared kitchen, in-room TV and unique touches like pillowtop beds with Frette sheets in select rooms keep things comfy. Evenings can mean live Coffee Concerts in the garden.

Spa facilities include a massage room, body treatments, facials, a solarium and steam bath. Take a dip in the indoor or outdoor pool, stretch in the yoga area or soak up sun on the terrace. Onsite extras: an attached winery, library, arcade/game room, BBQ area and a kids’ playroom. Tour desk, transfers and pet-friendly policies make getting around simple.

Meeting and presentation facilities, a 560 sq ft conference hall and a computer station are available. Complimentary wired internet and free Wi‑Fi options help you stay connected, plus express check‑in and a 24‑hour front desk for flexible scheduling.

Complimentary American/English breakfast starts the day. The hostal has an onsite restaurant and bar/lounge with room service during limited hours, and plenty of restaurants and bars are within walking distance. Garden coffee concerts and occasional live music add a local vibe to your evenings.
