Itza Hotel Boutique Internacional

The hotel common areas are absolutely beautiful! The staff is amazingly professional, respectful and considerate! Breakfast was wonderful each morning. They give so much food and it is so fresh and delicious! I had dinner in the rooftop bar which is charming! The food was wonderful and the drinks top notch!

Visiting from Florida USA. We have stayed in many upscale hotels and ITZA is truly special. From the moment you arrive( Front Desk Cecilia and Christian make you feel that you have arrived. The rooms are beautiful; very high ceilings, spectacular bathroom, balcony with well-insulated for sound. The breakfast at Santo Placer is a true delicacy. Great service by Adriana and Valeria. Awesome coffee as well. Upstairs at ZaZa Rooftop we enjoyed a spectacular 360 degrees view as well as great cocktails by Ronald and service by Salome. This hotel in Miami Beach would be $1K per night. The location is close to everything but a block back of the congestion. What a classy experience at ITZA.

My wife and I recently visited the UNESCO World Heritage city of Cuenca, Ecuador. We were on a private tour with the hotels selected by the tour company. They outdid themselves in choosing the Itza which is as nice as boutique hotel as we have stayed in for many years. Firstly, its location a block away from Calderon plaza and the cathedral is excellent. This is especially borne out when you go up to the wonderful rooftop bar Zaza and enjoy the views of the cathedral towers and other churches as you make a 360 degree circuit of the city. The restoration of the building has been done meticulously with many fine touches such as the lounge and the small restaurant. Make sure to get a room with a balcony. There are a few rooms with no windows and these should be avoided. The bathrooms are as nice as you'll find in Ecuador. Large, marble and with heated floors. The Itza is one of the few Ecuadorian hotels that has air conditioning and heat. The staff was very helpful and most had decent English skills, something not that common in Ecuador. The wifi was very good compared to most other Ecuadorian hotels we stayed in. A few English channels are available on the TV. Cuenca is a much more prosperous looking city than Quito and a lot safer for tourists. There is a large ex-pat population here that gives it a feel a bit like places such as San Miguel Allende in Mexico. Don't go to Ecuador without visiting Cuenca. The drive from Quito down the Avenue of the Volcanoes is exceptional. Once you get to Cuenca I cannot recommend the Itza enough. The photos will give a better idea of why we loved this place.
