The Hotel Plaza Grande graces Independence Square and boasts a rich history spanning over five centuries. Originally, during Quito's Spanish foundation, the land where the hotel now stands was awarded to the renowned conquistador Francisco Pizarro. This site was the location of the very first house constructed in the 16th century as Quito was established. Over the years, it was home to some of the city's most prominent families. In the early 20th century, it became the city's first luxury hotel.
This iconic building, notable for its eclectic architecture that once contrasted sharply with the uniformity of colonial homes, enjoys a prime location on the main square of Quito’s Historic Center. It offers stunning views of the Presidential Palace of Carondelet, the Cathedral, the domes of ancient churches, El Panecillo, and the Municipal Palace.
Opened twelve years ago, the Hotel Plaza Grande features 15 exquisitely furnished rooms. It includes two restaurants—one serving Ecuadorian cuisine and the other offering Mediterranean fare with a French twist. The hotel also boasts an Events Room that can accommodate up to 120 guests, perfect for social gatherings, weddings, lunches, and business functions.
Immerse yourself in this exceptional setting and become part of the storied legacy.
At the Hotel Plaza Grande, rooms are equipped with both double and king-size beds and are spread across two floors of a five-story building, including the basement level. The rooms and suites are designed to be comfortable and spacious, each featuring unique decor that complements the building's aesthetic.
The entire hotel was styled by designer Adriana Hoyos, who incorporated distinctive details and a color scheme of gold and bronze. The interiors feature wall-to-wall carpeting, elegant curtains, and custom-designed furniture. Each room is air-conditioned, non-smoking, and soundproof. Amenities include full bathrooms with both a bathtub and shower, smart card/key access, a safety deposit box, Wi-Fi, and flat-screen TVs with cable access.
