The very first city to be made a UNESCO World Heritage Site, Quito has a fascinating history that bleeds into every building and cobblestoned street. Built in the artists neighbourhood of San Marcos, ILLA is no exception. With its roots as a 17th-century family home, the hotel permeates a sense of warmth and hospitality while its decor is chic, modern and bold. With just 10 rooms, it's an intimate, boutique space with scene-stealing oil paintings, signature amenities (more on that later) and lovely views over the city. Set out to discover the delights of Quito, from its grand, aged plazas to the tiny stores selling Panama hats - did you know they happen to originate in Ecuador?
Themed after Ecuador's historical eras, ranging from Colonial to Republican, each room is elegant and plush. The rooms and suites are decked with all the comforts including heated floors, marble bathrooms with huge tubs, and state-of-the-art beds with robin's-egg blue and cream throws. Walls are adorned with sleek artworks and sitting areas are furnished with armchairs crafted by local artisans. Depending on the floor, you'll enjoy a view of lively Junin Street or El Panecillo, the city's most iconic landmark.
The perfect medley of old and new, authentic and fashionable - and the Ecuadorian hot chocolates, served daily!
The ILLA team is a hub of knowledge about the city and its history, so don't be shy to ask...
The lower floor rooms don't have as good a view, but you'll have plenty of time and opportunity to see this historic city.
