Architecture Veronica Reed
The terrace provides 360-degree views of the historic district, while the interior courtyard serves as an open lobby/reception area, creating a visual connection from the main entrance to the back patio, which itself presents a well-preserved stone staircase and a beautiful planted backdrop that is inspired by the traditional Spanish gardens of Quito.

unique to each room, creating a modern ambiance within a historical shell. Each bathroom presents its own tile design, which matches the patterns of the room and evokes a more elegant era. The colors in the guestrooms were selected to reflect the variety of the tones found among the birds in Quito, thus connecting the property to the magnificent flora and fauna that surrounds it.

Sustainability Keeping an eye on our Conscious Hotel Principles
During construction, new pieces of furniture were made with reclaimed wood from other construction sites. No packaged snacks are served, and only glass bottles are used.
In addition to using LED lights and efficient appliances, an onsite solar energy system generates 10% of the total energy use and gives the hotel two hours of autonomy.
Water-conserving fixtures and a waste water treatment system reduce consumption against a standard baseline by up to 40%.
All hotel toiletries and linens are locally sourced. Produce and beverages are also sourced from local, organic producers.
A beacon in the community, Carlota hosts live music, Ecuadorian art cinema nights, cultural presentations and exhibitions, and TEDx talks.
Guests are invited to join walking tours of historic Quito, visit local parks, and engage with local businesses.
As required for B Corporation certification, Carlota follows all principles that shape a quality workspace for staff and suppliers.
In addition to the hotel website, information on their conscious initiatives can be found in each guest room and public space.
“We had to find a point at which the architecture and design could meet. We did that through color.”
