This immaculate and charming hotel is the best location bar none as a base to explore Quito’s historic center. We had a gorgeous room facing the plaza so we could enjoy a terrific view and watch the people in this busy and most beautiful square. All staff were competent, professional, and pleasant and handled our questions perfectly. Many thanks for the wine, macarons, and chocolate awaiting us on check-in as well as the water bottles and coffee maker in the room! Restaurant was really good, too. Huge thanks to the front desk staffer who arranged for a private driver and tour guide for us on the day we checked out. We got to see everything we wanted! This was our first time in South America and Hotel Plaza Grande was the perfect introduction to the continent, Ecuador, and Quito.
