Reminiscent of a mountain lodge, this place is among the most practical accommodations in the Central Highlands. Each of the clean, comfortable rooms is named after a different mountain peak; several rooms overlook the surrounding hills. Horses, stabled on-site, are available for day treks. The owner, mountaineer Marco Cruz, knows the best hikes in the region.
This century-old house, with its fern-filled central courtyard, is conveniently located in the middle of town. Its elegant yet homey restaurant, around the corner from the hotel, is first-rate.
This place just outside Riobamba welcomes you back to your spacious room with a crackling fire in the hearth. When there are enough guests, the hotel puts on a show with folk music and dancing before dinner. The owner is one of the most famous mountain climbers in Ecuador.
