Hotel Plaza Grande was a beautiful hotel in a fabulous location! The rooms were HUGE and ours had a great view of the Plaza de Armas. It was a wonderful treat to stay at this luxurious hotel, and we were very happy with our choice. However, we had problems at the cafe. The waiters were insistent that we try everything... More

This is a beautiful and luxurious hotel, in the heart of old Quito. Staff were friendly and very helpful and because the hotel is small it has a lovely atmosphere. Restaurant food was good and the location is excellent right on the main plaza. Would definitely recommend a stay

Incredibly located on one of the main squares of the historical centre of Quito. The hotel is traditionally plush and luxurious and the staff are trained to follow suit. The suites are large and well appointed and the restaurants (of which there are 2) both serve fantastic fare with good service to match. Thoroughly reccomend.

We thoroughly enjoyed our 3 night stay at this hotel before our trip to the Galapagos Islands. It's a lovely old fashioned colonial style hotel that is right on the Plaza de la Independencia, on the corner of Garcia Moreno and Chile, though the entrance is actually on Garcia Moreno. Most online maps showing the location are wrong, including Tripadvisor.... More

This is just a wonderful hotel. Centrally located and ideal for walking around the old part of the City. The staff are great and so is the food! We stayed here for two nights at the end of a wonderful holiday in Mexico and the Galapagos Islands and it really was the icing on top of the cake. Would thoroughly... More

Looked at staying here and another place we visited on trip, and very glad we chose Plaza Grande. Hotel is beautiful and also gives you an authentic feel. Staff is extremely helpful and gracious. Two restaurants and cozy bar on second floor where more formal dining room is was fantastic place to discuss day's sightseeing. Fresh flowers in room and... More

We had the pleasure of staying at the Plaza Grande from Feb 17-19, 2013. The hotel is ideally situated in the heart of the historic center of Quito which makes exploring the area exceptionally easy. The rooms were spacious and beautifully decorated. The best part of the hotel was the attentive staff who knew all their guests by name. The... More

What a find! This hotel was EXACTLY what my wife and I had hoped for. Right onto the main square in Quito, the rooms are beautiful and the service was from people acting as hosts to their city - extra touches in the room, generous with information and suggestions and nothing was ever too much trouble.

You are greeted by friendly staff and a large arrangement of roses throughout the hotel. We were tired after returning from Galapagos Islands and it was our last night before heading home. The hotel has been renovated but remains charmingly 18th century style. The rooms are huge with sitting areas and large bathrooms. A sweets tray greeted us in the... More

Stayed in this hotel before a trip to the Galapagos. We arrived late (3am) as our LAN flight was delayed by 10 hours, so not much sleep. It did not help that our second and final night was disrupted by a wedding reception and full band playing on the 4th floor, directly above our room until midnight. We had a... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
The Hotel Plaza Grande rises above Quito's central square, known as the Plaza de la Independencia. It was one of the first hotels ever constructed in the capital, and has been extensively renovated and remodeled to become the finest boutique hotel in the city. It is the ideal place from which to explore the wonders of this timeless city. Quito was declared a UNESCO "World Heritage Site" in 1978, thanks to its historic center, which is the largest and best preserved in Latin America. The colonial center of the Franciscan city of Quito is a treasure trove of baroque art and architecture, including buildings, churches, monasteries and narrow streets that reflect Ecuador's unique blend of indigenous and Spanish cultures. ... more   less
