La Cartuja is a hotel aimed at travelers looking for a charming and intimate place . The location of the hotel is ideal for both the tourist and the business client since it is in the center of Quito next to the financial area and the tourist interest places. It is in a residential area next to the USA and French embassies. In fact the house used to hold the British embassy. The Hilton hotel is three blocks away.

The house was totally remodeled in 1999 when it was turned into a hotel. The best materials were used and a very prestigious construction company was in charge of the project; Edificar s.a. There are two floors in a total area of 738m2. Constructed area is 810m2

The main home has the reception area and three bedrooms. On the second floor there are five more bedrooms. At the patio/garden area there is the restaurant, four more rooms and a second floor which is now beign used as offices. Sale includes all appliances and furniture.


The hotel offers the possibility of expansion to 20 rooms without damaging the neo-colonial style of the house since the structure is already built. The restaurant, consisting of 20 seats, is only beign used to serve breakfast. The location is excellent to open a restaurant or a coffe shop to the public .

This business can easily be run from abroad since the team is used to receiving instructions via internet (the current owner is foreigner). The staff is extremely reliable and know how to run the hotel.

Future development is excellent since the European market is increasing due to the solid euro and to new emerging air companies flying directly into Quito.

The new built constructions in this area are currently being sold 750$m2. La Cartuja is a well established business operating since 1999 and has an excellent reputation. The owner is selling for personal reasons. Please do not contact in person or phone only via e-mail . Only serious enquiries.
