Swissôtel Quito

My husband and I stayed here for 4 nights as part of a Smithsonian tour. Our 7th floor room was spacious and clean. The glass elevators often had views of a stunning snow capped volcano. Carlos from the bell staff was very friendly. We enjoyed the indoor/outdoor pool, the beautiful roses in the lobby, and the outdoor courtyard. The location was convenient because we were a short walk from a large Supermaxi grocery store where we purchased coffee, chocolate bars and wine. Attached to the hotel is a small mall with a deli and a sports bar. We ate at the sports bar twice and especially enjoyed watching soccer with the locals. Ii would be glad to stay at the Swissotel Quito if I ever return to the area. It was wonderful.

We had executive privileges with the room that we were in so we could go to the top floor executive lounge and eat and drink for free. They offered plenty of food, even desserts in a buffet style setting. The breakfast in the hotel restaurant was amazing- so huge and so much food to choose from. The servers were very nice. We walked to a grocery store a block away but stayed in the hotel when we weren't on our city tour. My husband used the pool and said it was cool that you could swim from inside to outside. Many of the workers there seemed like they felt big brother was watching them all the time-they didn't seem relaxed in their jobs. They seemed to be looking over their shoulder like they were afraid they were constantly being critiqued. The facility was very clean and beautiful. Great to get Muno tea bags to drink every day for the altitude sickness. We added a bag to our coffee and it was so helpful.

In a pretty run down city, this hotel is a beacon of modernity and comfort. The lobby is lovely with huge vases of gorgeous roses and a courteous, helpful desk staff.||The room is spacious, the bed comfortable, the TV even has some channels with English programming. Good clothing storage, a comfortable desk and chair, a cozy armchair, nice bathroom amenities which are changed daily, coffee and tea making supplies, and a fridge.||The breakfast buffet is huge and wonderful. There are local and international options, including delicious ceviche and various hot food options in addition to eggs made to order, fresh fruit, pancakes, waffles, crepes, pastries, cereal, etc. I was nuts about the shrimp ceviche and the wonderful fresh pineapple and papaya and cooked tomato fruit, a new one for us. Honestly, the breakfast is a good reason to stay here even if you don't love the room.||The only problem we had, and it wasn't insignificant, was with the toilet. We stayed on two occasions during our time in Ecuador. In our first room, we found it very difficult to flush the toilet. The mechanism is awkward and required physical strength to operate. Very odd. During our second stay, the toilet flusher was a little less difficult to operate, though still awkward, and didn't flush completely. In the morning the toilet overflowed and flooded the bathroom. Luckily, maintenance responded promptly and then housekeeping came to clean the floor. A hotel of this quality should not have this problem. The toilets outside the dining room had more standard flush mechanisms which were easy to operate.

Large room, fast elevator s, huge buffet, beautiful pool, super fast Wi-Fi, very friendly staff, gorgeous roses throughout lobby. The hotel was exceptionally clean. Loved the electronic shade in the room. Huge television with CNN in English. Double sinks in bathroom with plenty of counter space

Very luxurious hotel with excellent dining facilities. Nice welcome party for our group. Service was quite good. The room was very quiet was very comfortable beds. The electric curtains were a challenge. The hotel was situated in a good location for shopping.

Loved the bed and breakfast was fabulous. Close to lots of restaurants. Wish we had more time to spend here Loved the roses in the lobby and at the front desk. Water station on main floor was very handy and helpful for our water bottles. Wonderful

We booked two nights at Swissotel Quito before the start of a Galapagos cruise. It was an excellent hotel stay -- great service, very comfortable and well appointed rooms, excellent food for the included breakfast in the restaurant and for the very reasonably priced room service option. Check-in/check-out was efficient and friendly. We found ourselves wishing we had booked more time in Quito before our cruise so we could have enjoyed the city and the beautiful country and this excellent hotel longer. We want to come back for a mainland Ecuador trip in the future, and if we do, there's no question Swissotel will be the first accomodation we look to for that trip.
