The highlands have a lot to offer as to natural and cultural sights, but there are also good opportunities for lodging, also for guests seeking luxury. <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/><\/span><span style=\"font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;\">When I came to Ecuador I had high expectations regarding things to do. These were not only fulfilled but also exceeded. I was amazed by the abundance of volcanoes between Quito and Cuenca as well as by the beauty of these cities whose historic inner cities are both UNESCO Cultural Heritage Sites. As to hotels, I was confident that the quality of accommodation would be pretty good as a consequence of Ecuador\u2019s colonial past. And I was right about this. Here is my report on the hotels of our journey through Ecuador\u2019s highlands.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-ZntB0rfqgjg\/WV-VVGuIziI\/AAAAAAAACz4\/xaCAWI0ISr05rxfEVLY50e9TaOrrHR-lgCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_141b.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-ZntB0rfqgjg\/WV-VVGuIziI\/AAAAAAAACz4\/xaCAWI0ISr05rxfEVLY50e9TaOrrHR-lgCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_141b.jpeg\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_quality_hotels_from_Otavalo_to_Guayaquil\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">6 quality hotels from Otavalo to Guayaquil<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Due to the Spanish colonization there are quite a number of large estates (haciendas) in the countryside. As they often lost their original purpose, many have opened their doors as upscale boutique hotels. As a consequence, haciendas converted into small hotels can be found quite often in the rural area. As far as hotels in cities are concerned, there are also a number of establishments stemming from the colonial past.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Staying at a hacienda-hotel is a bit different from other hotel experiences.

The dinner we had at the hacienda was delicious and having it in such beautiful und historical surroundings was the cherry on the cake. Also a fun thing was it when an employee summoned the lamas to the courtyard where you could feed them.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-v4qbj9adS94\/WV-YYF0xhmI\/AAAAAAAAC0k\/qo-hoiptwGY7JjMPVGi_UtwRQb28tciiwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_13fa.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-v4qbj9adS94\/WV-YYF0xhmI\/AAAAAAAAC0k\/qo-hoiptwGY7JjMPVGi_UtwRQb28tciiwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_13fa.jpeg\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_you_should_know-3\"><\/span><strong> <br class=\"avia-permanent-lb\" \/>What you should know<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">There is another building with rooms outside the property, which does not look equally charming as the main house, but I only saw it from the outside. What I noticed further were that many furniture items in the room and in the drawing room (public space) were a bit worn out. Staff is nice although not as accommodative and professional as in the sister hotel of Hacienda Zuleta.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-ovEhm1IbZJM\/WV-baz_rx-I\/AAAAAAAAC1I\/NhafJ7iaTj8jvoKLrkWYDKjnUmasAbOwwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_141c.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-ovEhm1IbZJM\/WV-baz_rx-I\/AAAAAAAAC1I\/NhafJ7iaTj8jvoKLrkWYDKjnUmasAbOwwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_141c.jpeg\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"4_Riobamba_Hacienda_Abraspungo\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">4.

In short, it is a good enough place to stay and eat for one night, but not more than that.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-KC4vFV0kiHA\/WV-Y9W4tHRI\/AAAAAAAAC0w\/3ydRsqvQMJMUQJ2c4zWZS3wXEY__1gSZwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/DSC02712.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-KC4vFV0kiHA\/WV-Y9W4tHRI\/AAAAAAAAC0w\/3ydRsqvQMJMUQJ2c4zWZS3wXEY__1gSZwCLcBGAs\/s1600\/DSC02712.JPG\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"5_Cuenca_Mansion_Alcazar\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">5.

Here a typical Spanish mansion awaits you with a two-level central court (roofed). We had a look at different rooms here in the main house and also in the garden wing. Whereas the former are in a classic style but with modern comfort, the latter are more contemporarily furnished. Behind the main house there is a restaurant and a nicely landscaped garden. The hotel is favorably located in the old town in walking distance of most colonial buildings of Cuenca.<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_I_liked-5\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">What I liked<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">The two-level central court is a true eye-catcher, very well conserved with beautiful furniture.

All the rooms with two exceptions have only windows going to this court. This together with the non-existent air condition makes the rooms rather stuffy, at least the one we had on the ground floor (No. 105). My advice: opt in the main house for rooms No. 104 and 204 with additional windows going to the garden.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-_YY1qYKBu14\/WV-aQyLhc5I\/AAAAAAAAC08\/LDUELKYaNz8WUeWc0pK48x56K3ozCch0ACLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_14a2.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-_YY1qYKBu14\/WV-aQyLhc5I\/AAAAAAAAC08\/LDUELKYaNz8WUeWc0pK48x56K3ozCch0ACLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_14a2.jpeg\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"6_Guayaquil_Hotel_Oro_Verde\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">6.

Although it has to be said that the choice of really good hotels here is somewhat limited. All the 236 rooms of this hotel located a bit above the city center were recently renovated and offer a good comfort. On site you find five restaurants and bars. We stayed there as part of our post cruise package and upgraded to a higher room category (Premium Floor Room with access to executive lounge).<\/span><\/span><br \/>\n<span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_I_liked-6\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">What I liked<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">I was in favor of our well appointed and nicely decorated room, which was large and also had a spacious bathroom. Service was kind and eager to help. I was impressed by the restaurant selection at Hotel Oro Verde, food wise they cater for every need that might come up. I was especially fond of our dinner at the restaurant Le Gourmet (my next post will go into it).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-VK5ItCXUXI0\/WV-amFA74cI\/AAAAAAAAC1A\/CV_f4w71KzcpD7vJhCf3fjQH-9rS0F6KACLcBGAs\/s1600\/DSC03427.JPG\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-VK5ItCXUXI0\/WV-amFA74cI\/AAAAAAAAC1A\/CV_f4w71KzcpD7vJhCf3fjQH-9rS0F6KACLcBGAs\/s1600\/DSC03427.JPG\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h4><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_you_should_know-6\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">What you should know<\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h4>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<p><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">The location above the city center cannot be called ideal, at least not for tourists. It is possible to walk to major sights but this needs some time. In addition, the neighborhood is rather charmless and I would not recommend walking around in the area at nighttime. Furthermore, I found the pool area a bit underwhelming. Finally, the executive lounge is not worth upgrading to (mostly unattended, only a few snacks and beverages available).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><\/div>\n<div style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\"><a style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\" href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-joaztsqrAcU\/WV-cQ3fpnvI\/AAAAAAAAC1M\/FiGM5P98vU4NVhE9Ji2ouiLwIiVDcPO7ACLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_167c.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-joaztsqrAcU\/WV-cQ3fpnvI\/AAAAAAAAC1M\/FiGM5P98vU4NVhE9Ji2ouiLwIiVDcPO7ACLcBGAs\/s1600\/fullsizeoutput_167c.jpeg\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1067\" data-original-width=\"1600\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: left;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Overall\"><\/span><strong><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">Overall <\/span><\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<div><span lang=\"EN-US\" style=\"mso-ansi-language: EN-US;\"><span style=\"font-family: 'arial' , 'helvetica' , sans-serif;\">When it comes to hotels for a luxury stay in Ecuador\u2019s highlands, chances are good to find them.
