Although the Hilton Colon is not the most exciting choice of hotel in Quito, it offers an extremely comfortable base from which to explore the city. Rooms are generous and well appointed and, unlike most hotels in the city, the Hilton has a wide range of facilities including swimming pool and fitness centre. Well located in the modern La Mariscal district, it has the advantage of being very close to some of Quito’s top restaurants while being just ten minutes’ walk from the historic Old Town.
