Quinta San Felipe occupies a historic property in Quito’s Centro Histórico, one of the city’s most atmospheric areas.

The hotel’s style reflects the identity of a restored historic residence. Traditional elements create a warm sense of place, while the interiors provide a comfortable and polished environment for modern travelers. Courtyards, high ceilings, textured walls and carefully selected decorative details contribute to an intimate atmosphere. Rather than presenting a standardized lodging experience, the property emphasizes character, calm and the architectural heritage associated with Quito’s old town.
Accommodation is arranged in private rooms and suites designed for different types of stays. Categories may vary in layout and size, with options intended for individual travelers, couples and longer visits.

The hotel is particularly well suited to couples, culture-focused travelers and families who appreciate a central setting with an individual identity. Its residential character can also appeal to business visitors who prefer a quieter environment during a stay in the capital.
Me encantó quedarme en Quinta San Felipe durante el tour de Tangol. Desde mi habitación veía los tejados de Quito y, al amanecer, las montañas con una luz increíble. El check-in fue rapidísimo: entregué el pasaporte y en menos de cinco minutos ya tenía la llave. Para el check-out solo firmé una planilla y dejé la mochila guardada hasta el traslado. Todo tranquilo y muy práctico para seguir viajando solo.
Quinta San Felipe made our low-season family trip to Quito wonderfully easy. We were checked in within minutes, and checkout was just as quick—no waiting or surprise paperwork. Breakfast became a highlight: warm pan de yuca, fresh fruit, eggs cooked to order, and excellent coffee. We also enjoyed a cozy dinner there; the locro de papa was rich and comforting. The 24 de Septiembre location felt convenient and peaceful.
Passamos um fim de semana muito gostoso no Quinta San Felipe, e o que mais marcou foi a forma atenciosa como a equipe nos recebeu. Chegamos antes do horário e ofereceram café enquanto preparavam o quarto, sem qualquer pressa. O lugar é realmente silencioso; à noite só se ouvia de vez em quando o sino distante e o vento no pátio. A funcionária Marta ainda deixou duas garrafinhas de água e indicou um caminho tranquilo até a praça. Voltamos descansadas e gratas pela estadia.
