Welcome to a gastronomic tour throughout our country.

At Art Hotels we always seek to highlight Ecuador, its cities and destinations; that is why by merging gourmet techniques with carefully preserved cooking customs, we deliver a

modern interpretation of our typical dishes.

From the slopes of the Cotopaxi, the imposing Imbabura, the Pacific coast, the thicket of the Amazon rainforest, and the tropical, cloudy, temperate forests come the natural

ingredients that inspire and accompany the tastes on your palate.

The ancestral customs of fishing and gathering, the knowledge and flavor of our grandmothers, and the most modern cooking techniques, allow us to present to you an extensive sample of the culinary richness of our country; where each dish represents customs, traditions, evokes memories, unique aromas and flavors that we can find in

every corner, in every house of our country.
