I am a program evaluator and seldom give perfect scores. Hotel Plaza Grande gets a 5 out of 5. The staff knew our names, and we knew theirs because they were constantly helping us to have the best stay possible in Quito. While our room was smaller than I expected, it was sparkling clean, quiet, and elegant. We slept beautifully,... more

We stayed here for 2 nights after a trip to the Galapagos. Spent a lot of time researching whether to stay in the Old Town or the New Town, and after the trip I was so glad we chose the Old Town. If you're on a short trip, and interested in the culture and history of the city, almost everything... more

We stayed one night here after flying in from London via Madrid, then another 2 nights after a Galapagos cruise. The location is great - right by Plaza de Independencia.

We just returned from a wonderful vacation to Ecuador. We ended our vacation in Quito and could not have been happier with our stay at the Plaza Grande. From the moment you enter the hotel to a pleasant greeting of warm face cloths and a cold fruit drink you know that this is going to be a special hotel visit.... more

We stayed there in August 2008. AA "lost" my luggage between Miami and Quito, so I arrived after midnight with just the clothes that I had travelled in from London, and an important business lunch to go to the next day. The concierge sorted everything. My clothes were taken and returned, washed and pressed, by 7 am the following day,... more

The old city of Quito is one of my favorite places on earth and I have always wanted to stay there instead of in the new part of town. So I was delighted when we were put in the Plaza Grande on a recent work trip. It's a gorgeous old building and the rooms have been done up in an... more

Didn't stay but had dinner here following a recommendation from the Swissotel where I was staying. They neglected to inform us that the Plaza Grande and Swissotel are owned by the same company. It's location is good in the historic town. The decor is over the top kitsch and the staff too amateur for the prices they charge for dinner... more

The hotel also has a wonderful banquet hall, with an astonishing view of the Main... more
