Riobamba, Ecuador

Mansion Santa Isabella

Family-Run Colonial Hotel in the City Centre

With a warm, personal service from its English/Ecuadorian owners, this well-restored colonial urban mansion and family-run hotel is the best place to stay and explore Riobamba.

Located in the city-centre, the Mansion Santa Isabella is close to Parc Sucre, Riobamba Cathedral and the Estadio Olimpico. The accommodation is clean and simple, and the service is friendly and efficient.

The buffet breakfast includes some Ecuadorian specialities, with local fruits such as uvilla and cherimoya, as well as bread baked fresh in the building and local cheeses and hams. Later in the evening, dine on the restaurant’s fusion menu then drink cocktails in the brilliant underground bar, once used as a tunnel connecting local churches and monasteries.
