Hacienda Zuleta
Hacienda Zuleta is a working farm owned by the former President of Ecuador, Galo Plaza Lasso, and his family. This 17th century property dates from the colonial era and has been in the ownership of the past President’s family for over a century. The hotel has received many accolades. It was selected by Outside magazine as one of their “top ten finds” in the world, while National Geographic Traveler named it as one of their top hotels in Ecuador.
Experience Ecuador
This hotel has everything you could want and more - from gorgeous antique rooms, and delectable, locally sourced Andean cuisine to a wide array of activities to take part in. You could explore the views and lakes of the mountains on horseback, or discover hidden nuggets of history when exploring on foot or by bicycle. You can take a cooking or embroidery class or learn all about endangered species.
A family home
To stay at this hotel is to become one of the family. You will stay in rooms formerly occupied by members of the growing family, and enjoy dining at the property’s vast, antique table. You can relax by the crackling fire and be entertained by tales of times past. The horses were born and bred here, and the lanes and gardens on the site were created by Galo Plaza Lasso and his wife. They, along with local people, have established a real local community at Hacienda Zuleta, which is yours to partake in for as long as you stay.
Full of character and charm
In total, there are 21 rooms at the property, and each room has its own cosy fireplace to create that warm and welcoming ambience. The President’s Library has hundreds of books to read in Hacienda Zuleta’s snug lounges that are filled with antiques. Rooms feature charming touches like embroidered bed linen and fresh rose blooms, and outside there are flower-filled gardens and plazas to explore and relax in.
