Quito, Ecuador's capital, sits high in the Andean foothills, acting as a gateway to the cloud-forested landscapes. Kimkim's preferred hotels bring the city's history and culture right into your room, whether you're there for a city escape or a quick overnight. For something conveniently located near Mariscal Sucre International Airport, try a property like
Wyndham Quito Airport, which offers comfortable rooms with a free 24/7 airport shuttle, ideal for odd-hour flights. If soothing hot springs and scenic highland hikes appeal to you, enjoy options like
Termas Papallacta, providing a resort spa experience with thermal pools and rooms with heated floors. For a little history, try something like
La Casona de La Ronda, housed in a beautifully restored mansion from 1738 and complete with an on-site restaurant serving Ecuadorian cuisine.
