DISCOVER MORE ABOUT HOTEL OTAVALO

BLENDING THE OLD WITH THE NEW WITH A FOCUS ON LUXURY HOSPITALITY

Hotel Otavalo’s story began in 1930, when Elías Endara commissioned this landmark building, drawing inspiration from Spanish colonial architecture. Originally designed as a rental residence, the property became part of the city’s development and housed prominent Otavalo families.

Over the years, the building evolved into a hospitality landmark in northern Ecuador. In 2015, Art Hotels Ecuador began a comprehensive restoration and reconstruction, preserving its architectural character and heritage.

Reopened in 2018 as a luxury boutique hotel, it brings history, culture and elegance into every space, offering an experience rooted in Otavalo’s identity and legacy.
