Lujosas suites XOE

Perched in Quito's residential tower Edificio XOE, these apartment-style suites sit high enough to frame the city's volcanic backdrop — Pichincha's ridgeline appears directly west from the terrace and sun deck.

Kitchenettes make longer stays practical, while an on-site coffee house, snack bar, restaurant, and BBQ facilities reduce the need to leave the building. A game room, indoor play area, and outdoor play equipment give families room to spread out across multiple floors.

Quito's altitude of 2,850 metres catches first-time visitors off guard; the 24-hour front desk and airport shuttle soften the arrival. With only eight reviews averaging 9.8, the property is genuinely under the radar for a city where most visitors default to the colonial-centre hostels.
