La Casona de la Ronda
This old colonial house is located in a fashionable, winding street in old town Quito (giving the hotel its name) and although set inside a 1738 building, underwent an extensive refurbishment to provide high contemporary standards and modern bathrooms whilst retaining traditional elements. The 22 en-suite rooms are set around a central courtyard with outward facing windows and amenities that include cable TV and Wi-Fi.
