QUITO, ECUADOR—The Quito Tourism Board announced the opening of the Carlota Hotel, a luxury boutique hotel in Quito’s bustling historic district. Carlota Hotel is located in a renovated house built at the turn of the century in 1905. This property is the first urban-design boutique hotel in Quito’s Historic District and aims to become the first LEED certified hotel in Ecuador and the first LEED certified design boutique hotel in a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The hotel opened on July 21.

The authentic historical hotel boasts 12 individual rooms each decorated with their own bold and innovative style. They feature L’Occitane products, a bistro offering fresh local delicacies (run by Chefs Juan Francisco Hidalgo and Felipe Moscoso, with assistance from Chef Juan Sebastian Perez), a rooftop lounge offering gins and tapas which guests can enjoy as they overlook the city’s historical landmarks and heritage sites, and an “urban garden” where the hotel grows local herbs and fruits used in the kitchen.

The hotel is conveniently located minutes away from important tourist sites like Plaza Grande, La Mariscal, and the La Ronda district, where tourists can find numerous restaurants, bars and open-air markets.
