A sympathetically restored boutique property, Santa Lucia Hotel is well-placed for discovering the bustling colonial city of Cuenca with its UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity status.
Originally built in 1859, a lengthy refurbishment has seen the creation of 20 uniquely ornamented rooms and suites that overlook a central patio, each decorated in red and gold and furnished with antiques and tapestries.
The in-house restaurant Trattoria Novecento is set within the property’s central patio and possesses a particularly charming atmosphere and cosy ambience. Surrounded by tropical plants and overlooked by the balconies of the internal rooms, the trattoria is well-known throughout Cuenca for its Italian dishes and attracts both visitors and tourists alike.
Cuenca is an incredibly enigmatic city that is full of cathedrals, museums and local eateries, but it is also a wonderful springboard for exploration of even lesser-known areas of Ecuador, such as the town of Chordeleg.
We can arrange for you to visit this ancestral settlement in the foothills of the Azuay province, which is just 30 minutes from Cuenca, to peruse their renowned wooden artefacts, ceramic potter and gold jewellery.
Just two street blocks from the historical nucleus of Cuenca and its Tomebamba River waterfront, Santa Lucia Hotel is a central yet quiet option in the south of Ecuador.
