Ecuador continues to shine on the world stage as Hotel Cruz del Vado in Cuenca and Hotel Otavalo in Otavalo, both part of the Art Hotels collection, have been distinguished by the prestigious Michelin Guide. This recognition marks a milestone for the country’s hospitality industry and also reaffirms a truth we hold dear: luxury in Ecuador is inseparable from its history, culture, and artistry.

At these exceptional properties, luxury is not measured solely by refinement, but by the depth of experience. Guests are welcomed into spaces that honor local architecture and traditions while offering modern comfort at the highest standards. Whether overlooking the Tomebamba River in Cuenca or embracing the multicultural heritage of Otavalo, each stay is designed as an immersion into Ecuador’s essence — intimate, elegant, and unforgettable.
