Cafe Cultura is a delightful mix of English tradition and contemporary trend, an inner city retreat, with lots of personality and wonderful food. The hotel was actually the former home of one of Quitos older families that lived here sixty years ago and subsequently became the French Cultural Centre. The building has been carefully restored over a period of four years, with special detail given to maintaining the unique chacteristics of the original interior. The house, a post colonial two-story building with whitewashed walls and a traditional terracotta tiled roof, barely seems like a hotel from the outside and certainly does not feel like one from the inside. It is surrounded by a beautiful lush garden, with secluded seating areas for relaxing or watching the resident hummingbirds do their thing. On the ground floor you will find the reception area and cafe - bistro, together with the wood-panelled library complete with guidebooks, papers and magazines for your use.

Each of the 26 rooms has been individually designed in keeping with the style of the house and has its own en suite bathroom. Different artists have painted modern frescoes throughout the hotel, adding to its already unique style. Once inside, you will immediately be seduced by the overall atmosphere of conviviality: the perfect mix of home comfort, the right level of discreet service, plus its own touch of eclectic culture. Indeed, while all of the rooms have individual features, some are more special than others with their own fireplaces, or perhaps a sunken bath.
