Get closer to Quito’s past and present during your stay at Illa Experience Hotel. Let the city charm you, let it draw you into the essence of our culture and traditions. At Illa, travellers connect with Quito.
Hotel Story
San Marcos is neighborhood that conserves its traditions while offering visitors a warm welcome. When the owners found a property in this iconic neighborhood, they saw a unique opportunity for innovation in hospitality. They envisioned a place where guests could immerse themselves in a culture, not just stay in a hotel.
Their holistic vision for Illa extends beyond the hotel’s guests. We believe in Ecuador and the benefits of tourism. The hotel is a way to do something more for the country, by generating employment that can impact the people who need it the most.
History
The house tells its own story: originally part of a larger colonial building from around the year 1700, with significant alterations made from the 1910s to 1920s. It was important to find an equilibrium that would maintain the original building’s integrity in service of its contemporary function as a luxury hotel.
