Resorts in Quito offer a polished base in one of South America's most architecturally rich capitals, with spa facilities and mountain views that match the elevation.
How to find the best resort deal in Quito
Our search engine is a genius at tracking down flight deals. The good news? It's just as awesome at sniffing out the best rates on resorts. These tips are your shortcut to saving on your stay.
Book in advance
The earlier you book, the better off you are. You're more likely to snag a cheaper price on a resort and have a wider range of choice.
...Or bag a last-minute Quito resort deal
While prices usually climb closer to your stay, some places discount their rates at the last minute to avoid letting rooms sit empty. This generally happens more in the low season.
Flexible on dates? Say hello to better rates
A little flexibility goes a long way when searching for cheap resorts in Quito. Choose weekdays over weekends, or travel during the low season instead of the most popular months.
Go all-inclusive
All-inclusive resorts in Quito can be a clever money move if you want to spend most of your trip in one place. With activities, meals and drinks bundled into the room rate, they can offer better value than paying for things as you go. Find out if stays like this are available before booking.
Show discounted resorts only
For a quick way to skip the full-price listings, apply the 'Only show hotels with discounts' filter. It highlights properties with reduced prices or special promotions.
When to visit Quito
High and low season in Quito
The dry season, running roughly from June through September, is generally the most popular time to visit Quito. Clearer skies make it easier to explore the historic centre and take day trips to nearby areas. Demand for accommodation rises during this period, so securing your stay in advance gives you more options and better rates.
The wet season, from around October through May, brings more frequent afternoon rain but fewer visitors overall. You'll find it easier to get around without the crowds, and prices can be more flexible. The rain rarely lasts all day, so mornings are often still good for sightseeing.
Quito hosts several well-known celebrations, including the Fiestas de Quito in early December, which marks the founding of the city with parades, concerts, and street events. Independence Day on August 10 is also widely observed. For a full picture of what's on during your visit, the official Quito tourism website is a reliable place to start your research.
