Metropolitan Touring
various wealthy families built their homes around the square, among them Casa de San Miguel. This house later
became the residence of several Republican-era presidents.
The Casona, its last incarnation dating from 1926 and included in Quitos list of heritage properties, rises on the
squares south-western corner, the interiors of its three ? oors beautifully appointed with a feel of sophisticated yet
understated luxury throughout. The style is eclectic and eye-catching, mixing Art Nouveau with contemporary design.
Attention-to-detail during restoration has been exceptional, maintaining nearly all of the houses original architectural
features. These include its tall, elegant windows, which provide fantastic views of the Panecillo hillside, the plaza and
the cosy, characteristic inner courtyard. The restoration also reinforced the mansion from the bottom up, making it
stronger than ever for the coming centuries.
The hotel features wonderful spaces for different moods and times of day: a garden-patio brimming with orchids
and native plants, a dining room ideal for enjoying re? ned culinary experiences or simply people-watching in the
square beyond, and a roof-top terrace with wrap-around views of the historic centres towers, tiles and spires – an
unbeatable spot to watch the frequent religious and cultural events on the square below.
