What was once one of the wealthier residential sections of the city now has developed into a trendy tourist centre, where you can arrange just about any trip or adventure you may have in mind. 

The hotel was actually the former home of one of Quitos older families that lived here sixty years ago and subsequently became the French Cultural Centre. The building has been carefully restored over a period of four years, with special detail given to maintaining the unique characteristics of the original interior.

The house, a post colonial two-story building with whitewashed walls and a traditional terracotta tiled roof, barely seems like a hotel from the outside and certainly does not feel like one from the inside. It is surrounded by a beautiful lush garden, with secluded seating areas for relaxing or watching our resident hummingbirds do their thing.

This hotel has a very special atmosphere, all rooms has been individually designed. Different artists have painted the walls with modern frescoes. All rooms have something special, some with fireplace, others with bathtub. For special requests please mail us for information

Each room features a private bathroom and has been individually decorated in keeping with the style of the house, three have fireplaces, one a sunken bath and our special suite has an exceptional bathroom with an antique bathtub.

The remainder of the rooms have been cleverly designed at the rear of the house and feature some of the best decoration. A luggage store area is permanently available for use whilst travelling in the country. We also have a private garden area with tables and chairs to relax and enjoy the sunshine, while watching our resident humming birds do their thing.
