The Best-Kept Secret of the Historic Center
Casa San Marcos, an old Quito mansion built in the early 18th century by the Spanish architect José Jaime Ortiz. Today, thanks to careful restoration, it has become a refuge for those seeking art, culture, and authentic experiences. Located in the heart of the Historic Center, this manor houses a boutique hotel where elegance and simplicity blend in a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Its spaces invite discovery: a terrace hosting a café with contemporary cuisine inspired by Ecuadorian flavors, paired with a privileged view of the hill El Panecillo; a gallery connecting with local art; and an antiques room holding pieces with history. Casa San Marcos is not just a place to stay, it is an experience to explore, contemplate, and enjoy.
