Illa Experience Hotel

We stayed at the Illa Experience hotel three times in Feb-Mar 2025. Each time was an absolutely wonderful experience, and we look forward to returning. Marvelous and unique rooms, most excellent and enthusiastic staff--all we met went out of their way to be helpful. The meals in the restaurant were delicious and enabled us to sample the full range of Ecuadoran food, often explained to us by the chef. The breakfast location in the "nest" was a delight, as were the breakfasts. In short, fine personalized service that was five stars all the way.

This is a chic boutique hotel in Quito. The decor is a mix of traditional and modern. Our room, however, was all modern located on what appeared to be the quiet side of the hotel where there was only 1 room on each floor. Our room was large and comfortable. The dining/bar area was in a kind of open air rooftop that was beautiful. Drinks were good, breakfast was also good.

Fabulous hotel in a terrific location. Everyone at the hotel was friendly and polite. On our second (our last) night there, we had to wake up at an ungodly hour in order to get to our flight to the Galapagos. The folks at the hotel were super helpful in that regard and even packed a boxed breakfast for us.

What a beautiful hotel! To walk in and see the tiled pool and surrounding plants is breath taking! It is exquisitely maintained and the furniture plush with elegance. The atmosphere is quiet and there are many areas for privacy and relaxation. We so enjoyed our dinner at a tablecloth covered table for two with gold cutlery and crystal glassware while watching the Chef prepare our dinner.

Set in a great location just 10 mins walk from the main square this hotel cannot be appreciated until you pass through the large yellow doors that screen it from the street. The bedroom was a good size with all the amenities one would need creatively designed. Dinner was great and the breakfasts were the perfect start to a day’s walking around Quito. Staff were all excellent.
