Hotel Plaza Grande
Ecuador
Hotel Plaza Grande faces Quito’s Plaza de la Independencia, with the cathedral, Archbishop’s Palace and Carondelet Palace close to its doors. Its 15 suites sit within a historic building, with Plaza View accommodation looking towards the main square. Café Plaza Grande serves Ecuadorian and international dishes, while the basement Bar 1936 combines cocktails and craft beers with food, a billiards table and occasional live music. A distinctive dessert experience features paila ice cream presented by a figure dressed as the purple-robed Cucurucho of Quito’s traditions. The San Francisco salon provides a separate setting for celebrations with city views.
