Hostería La Andaluza – North of Riobamba

thanks to David Sasaki for this info

Staying at Hostería La Andaluza is like passing through a portal back to the colonial era. This inn in Chimborazo Province is part of a hacienda that’s more than 300 years old. Simón Bolívar once stayed at La Andaluza. In fact, you can request the room where he reportedly slept. It’s been turned into a master suite that’s become a favorite for honeymooners. It’s $205 a night for two people.
Hardwood floors, high adobe walls, windows and a flared roof covered with clay tiles, are the architectural features reminiscent of the Andalusian style. In 2012, an entrepreneur and passionate antiquarian decided to buy the property and make it a lodge-museum. He recreated the colonial atmosphere in the 11 rooms. It gets cold in Chimborazo, so modern heating was installed. Hostería La Andaluza is part of Hacienda Chuquipogio. It’s north of Riobamba.
