The on-site restaurant showcases the rich flavours of Ecuador with locally-sourced ingredients and ancestral cooking techniques. Open for all three meals, the restaurant offers fan favourites like fresh ceviche, 72-hour Bondiola pork and chorizo-cut steak. High tea is served on the patio, where the soft scent of orchids lingers as you enjoy herbal infusions, Ecuadorian coffees, sandwiches and delicate pastries. When you're ready for a refreshing drink, the bar offers a well-curated wine list and speciality cocktails inspired by local festivals.

Guests can book exclusive activities including local chocolate tastings, private visits to the Carmen Alto Museum and fascinating visits to the brewery and bell tower of San Francisco Church. Stroll through the gardens of native flowers, or stop by the library to pick up a book to read on the patio. Open only to hotel guests, the on-site spa is the perfect place to relax with a signature Andean herb massage or salon services like manicures and hair styling.
