Cafe Cultura is a delightful mix of English tradition and contemporary trend. We consider ourselves an inner city retreat, with an out-going personality and inspirational food. Some sixty years ago, the hotel was home to one of Quito's oldest families, after which it became the French Cultural Centre. The building was carefully restored over a period of four years, with special detail given to maintaining the unique characteristics of the original interior. The house is hemmed by a beautiful garden, with secluded seating areas for relaxing -- or watching our resident hummingbirds, doves and peacocks do their thing. So don't be shy, ring the bell, come in, and discover for yourself why magazine recently listed Cafe Cultura as one of the three reasons to visit Ecuador!

Ground Floor: These rooms are towards the back of the hotel, behind reception. Possibly the most original of all the rooms are found here, with delicate paintings and decoration. Third Floor: The floor with the biggest story to tell. The roof of Cafe Cultura was severely damaged a few years ago by a freak hailstorm. The roof was completely reconstructed and rooms 18 to 24 were built here. Garden: There are two rooms to be found in the front part of the garden to the right hand side of the hotel. These rooms are tremendously original. They feature a private wooden decked area in front of them, making them at-once part and yet separate from the garden.

As Charles Darwin wrote of the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador is 'a world within itself.' We have snow-capped mountains and beautiful beaches, unique wildlife and untouched Amazon rainforest, fuming volcanoes and steaming lowlands. We have colonial citites and indigenous markets, modern infrastructure and traditional crafts, rivers to raft, peaks to scale, trails to blaze. At Cafe Cultura, we believe our guests are our friends, and we certainly treat them as such. So let us take you with us from the comfort and familiarity of the hotel to explore a new land, colourful and challenging, diverse and rewarding: a world within itself. Recommended places to stay.
