Illa Experience Hotel

Opened in 2017 in Quito’s historic San Marcos neighborhood, this intimate boutique hotel is surrounded by artists, writers, and musicians. Housed in a beautifully restored early 20th-century mansion, it blends historic architecture with contemporary comfort. Guests are welcomed through a central courtyard framed by decorative brick arches and stone columns.

Hotel amenities include a wine cellar, rooftop bar, lounge and reading room, complimentary Wi-Fi, and access to a private spa with a Jacuzzi, treatment room, reflexology services, and fitness center. The hotel’s signature restaurant, Inés, serves farm-to-table cuisine inspired by Ecuador’s ancestral ingredients. Rates include the chef’s signature breakfast.

The hotel offers ten elegant guest rooms and suites with high ceilings, luxurious amenities, and either one king-size bed or two full-size beds. Each room is inspired by a different period of Ecuadorian history, including the Colonial, Republican, and Contemporary eras.

The entire villa is also available for private buyouts from USD 4,200, offering an exclusive stay in your own private mansion in Quito.
