Metropolitan Touring has acquired a fabulous mansion in the geographical and spiritual heart of downtown Quito, which is being redone as a 31-room boutique-hotel. The house has been classified as a Historic Heritage of the city and is located at a privileged corner of Plaza San Francisco. It is a Renaissance-inspired building that combines Neo-Classical elements over its three floors - since it was designed by an architect of Italian origin.
Casona de San Miguel, Boutique Hotel, which will open its doors a year from now, is the ideal starting point to exploring Quito, Ecuador's dazzling capital city. Its sophisticated interior includes painted tin ceilings, and woodwork lovingly and painstakingly restored. The present classic design with touches of contemporary chic, takes full advantage of the mansion's elegant, tall windows, drawing the bright, Andean light into every suite, while providing exceptional views of the Square, the Panecillo hillside and the interior patio. Even these windows have respected the style of the era, while today being double-glazed for sound proofing.
Casona de San Miguel, Boutique Hotel, is designed around its central patio: the wood-paneled library, the solarium, the glass-roofed central patio, the bar, the ground-floor 24/7 café and restaurant perfectly located for watching everyday life in the Plaza, the garden with its displays of flowers, orchids and ornamental plants... Perhaps best of all, the roof-top terrace provides wrap-around views of Quito's Old Town.
