I had a solo stay at Vista de Angel Hotel with the purpose of relaxing and rejuvenating in Quito after a weeklong trip to the Galapagos. This hotel, located at the top of a hill, is the perfect place to decompress, relax, and enjoy the beautiful surroundings of the historical downtown with a panoramic view of the iconic statue in the distance. Even if you choose to stay on the hotel premises, there is so much to do, including journaling/reading in the cafeteria or on the patio, getting a massage (didn’t opt for one this time), buying gifts at the little hotel shop, and having a nice dinner with drinks in the restaurant. I felt especially well taken care of by the front desk staff, Judith and David. They were helpful and honest in their recommendations for places to explore and the safest ways of getting there. I even asked David about his poncho, and we had a nice conversation about types of things I could buy at the Mercado Artesanal without cultural misappropriation, which I really appreciated. I had dinner here one night, and the ceviche was perfect. I loved my room (small but very fancy, with a very large and comfy bed) and shower (three different shower nozzles). I especially loved the accessibility of this hotel for wheelchair users, with its reliable elevator and walk-in shower. If you are the type of traveler who enjoys views, luxurious stays, and peaceful nights, this hotel would be great for you.
