Nü house is a breath of fresh air in the capital. It boasts 52 rooms in all, divided into 32 double-bed rooms, 16 twin-bed, four triples and five stunning suites on the top floor. The concept is fresh and exciting. The hotel’s décor mixes wood paneling and dark-stone flags, stylish lighting and smart finishing. The rooms all come with 32” flat-panel TVs, funky mini-bars and white leather-clad desks and poofs.

The hotel is owned by the same company which runs the ground floor restaurant ‘Q’ which has become a local favorite in the Plaza Quinde, as well as the recently-inaugurated ‘Azuca’ restaurant, ‘The Loft’ nightclub and a swanky bakery across the road. It all adds up to an irresistible package in the heart of Quito’s coolest quarter.
