Centro Histórico Hotels

Centro Histórico is what most people think of when they envision Quito. Every year, the neighborhood attracts thousands of tourists and locals to its narrow streets and lovely plazas. Centro Histórico hotels are rapidly being renovated and becoming more popular as Quito tries to re-establish the historical center as the main tourist hub but there is still work to be done. For now, most hotels are based in the newer parts of Quito. However, there are still options for travelers who want to stay in this neighborhood.

Since Centro Histórico is an older part of town, the hotels are often in colonial buildings, which are much more charming—but sometimes more rundown and weathered—than hotels and hostels in the newer parts of time. Several hotels are kept up very well though, so it's a good idea to ask to see the rooms before you decide. In fact, a few of the city's most luxurious accommodation options can be found here. The neighborhood is centrally located and there are plenty of buses and taxis, so getting around Quito from Centro Historico is fairly easy.
