Hacienda Zuleta is a stunning 17th century hotel and working farm of former president Galo Plaza Lasso and his family. Created with his natural warmth, hospitality, and community ties, Hacienda Zuleta is blessed with beautiful antique rooms, delicious homegrown Andean cuisine, and a wealth of activities to choose from.
Hacienda Zuleta's core ethos is to welcome you as part of our family during your stay. You live in the rooms our family members grew up in and return to, experience the personalized service at our antique dining table, and hear the funny (and sometimes hair-raising) stories of the past as you sit by the fireside.
You ride the horses bred here across generations, walk the lanes laid down by Galo Plaza Lasso, eat from the gardens his wife lovingly created, and explore the community they helped forge together with the local people.
Visit mountain lakes and enjoy gorgeous vistas while riding on our own breed of horses, walk or bike hidden trails with centuries of history, see and learn about endangered species at our Condor Huasi facilities, or take up a cookery or embroidery class. You will find all this and more at Hacienda Zuleta!
The hacienda is located about 65 miles from Quito in the Andean highlands. Hacienda Zuleta offers a great variety of activities and excursions for guests. Horseback riding is the specialty, along with mountain biking and horse-drawn carriage rides on hacienda grounds to observe the agriculture, mountain views and the tranquil life of the community.
The hacienda has 15 beautifully decorated bedrooms, all with their own fireplace. All guestrooms are located in the main building, dating back to 1691.
Delicious Ecuadorian home-style cuisine among other types of cuisine are offered daily, prepared with organic vegetables, trout and dairy products produced on the hacienda grounds.
The rooms have beautiful garden and mountain views and some provide access to private gardens, terraces or a courtyard where hummingbirds feed, making these rooms ideal for bird watching.
Dinner and breakfast is included.
There are three different types of room: Junior Suite, Deluxe, and Standard. Suites for families and adjoining rooms are also available. Little touches, like plump anti-allergic bedding, embroidered linen, fresh roses, and hot water bottles, add to the charm.
