Very nice Relaxation

After days of exploring Quito, I decided to treat myself to a customizable massage, and it was one of the best decisions I made. The treatment was fantastic and tailored to my needs. It was the perfect way to unwind and recharge, especially after all the traveling.

Stunning Room Decor

The room I stayed in was nothing short of stunning. It was carefully designed with beautiful furnishings and a spacious layout that provided comfort and luxury. I loved the double shower in the bathroom and the elegant touches that made me feel right at home during my stay.

Engaging Cultural Experiences

One of my favorite parts of my stay was the daily artisan experience that the hotel offered. Each evening from 5-6 PM, I got to learn about traditional Ecuadorian cocktails and try local fruits. These activities allowed me to connect with the culture in a meaningful way and added a unique touch to my trip!

I recently stayed at this hotel, and it was a delightful experience overall. The rooms were not only immaculate but also extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant time. However, the dining could use some improvement, especially after comparing it to some of the fantastic meals I've had elsewhere. While the spa amenities were wonderful, the Wi-Fi issues were a bit frustrating.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel, with extremely comfortable and beautifully decorated rooms that were always spotless.
