Hotel

By Christopher Minster

San Jorge is a very historic hacienda – it was once owned by Ecuadorian president Eloy Alfaro – on the outskirts of Quito. It gets its name from the 375 acre San Jorge botanical reserve where it is located.

There are a variety of rooms available, from singles to suites. It is a typical converted hacienda, with the wide hallways, elegant rooms, beautiful gardens, and fine dining that the hacienda visitor has come to expect. It also has all the modern luxuries: game rooms, sauna, pool, steam room and hot tub are available in addition to conference facilities. San Jorge does special events: the dining room can seat 250 guests.

San Jorge provides more activities than most converted haciendas do. There are the usual horseback rides and bike trips, but San Jorge also offers bird watching, a trip/class about shamanism in Ecuador, tours of the botanical reserve and more. They offer trips and tours of Quito and nearby attractions such as Otavalo.  There is also an acclimatization center for those who wish to do high-altitude hiking or mountain climbing.

It mis-represented itself on it´s website. The pool is not clean the sauna, spa turkish bath is not in working order. It is very cold at night and there is no heat. some rooms had no hot water. We paid for excursions and we did not recieve them.
