Welcome, dear travelers, to the Hotel San Francisco De Quito! Nestled in the heart of Quito’s vibrant Centro Histórico, this charming hotel is a delightful blend of history, comfort, and warm hospitality. Imagine stepping into a building that’s over 300 years old, where every corner tells a story and every room is a unique experience. Laura from the United States summed it up perfectly in her glowing review: “The perfect Centro Histórico stay. This charming 300+ year old building is charming with high ceilings, lots of plants, and a shared terrace with a view. The metro is a block and a half away. The Centro Histórico is happening during the day and gets very, very quiet at night. Great for sleeping!”
From the moment you enter the grand lobby, you’re embraced by the rich history and elegance of colonial architecture. The high ceilings, antique furnishings, and lush greenery create an inviting atmosphere that makes you feel right at home.
