Casa Rábida Hotel Restaurante

The colonial-era townhouse on La Rábida 227, in Quito's quiet Santa María residential pocket, Casa Rábida pairs hardwood floors and garden terraces with a full-service restaurant and bar that draws guests back after day trips into the old city.

Rooms come with private bathrooms, in-room safes, and heating — useful at Quito's 2,850-metre elevation where nights turn cold regardless of season. Room service runs through a mobile app, and breakfast can be delivered to the room or packed for early departures toward the Galápagos-bound airport.

The Mariscal Sucre district and the UNESCO-listed Historic Centre are both reachable within fifteen minutes by taxi. The tour desk books Cotopaxi and Quilotoa loop day trips; airport shuttle is available for arrivals.
