In the heart of Quito鈥檚 UNESCO listed old-town, guests at Carlota can experience the impressive churches and plazas of the Ecuadorian capital, from a fashionable and homely base at Carlota.
There are just 12 individually designed rooms, each fusing original features of the building with modern elements. Wooden floors, exposed brickwork and geometric wallpaper can be found throughout the hotel, with some rooms looking onto the street and others facing an interior courtyard.

On the ground floor is the bistro, a full-service kitchen offering a diverse menu inspired by the flavours of Ecuador. After a day of sight-seeing, guests can also enjoy a cocktail at the open-air bar and lounge, which offers delicious entrees and exquisitely crafted cocktails to accompany the 360o views of Quito.
The hotel has a number of cosy cubby holes and sitting areas, perfect for relaxing with a book or coffee and furnished using repurposed and reused furniture.
