Itza Hotel Boutique

Nestled in the heart of historic Cuenca, Ecuador — a UNESCO World Heritage city famed for its colonial architecture and Andean charm — the Itza Hotel Boutique Internacional offers refined elegance and genuine local character for discerning travelers. Housed in a beautifully restored 1930s building designed by Italian architect Alfonso Durini, the property reflects a rich legacy while delivering modern luxury.

A Place with History & Character

Originally constructed in the early 1930s and once known as the “Hotel Internacional,” this emblematic building has been carefully revitalized to preserve its architectural heritage — ornate detailing, classic proportions, and original design elements — while introducing contemporary comforts.

Its prime location, right in Cuenca’s historic center and just steps from the city’s cathedral and vibrant plazas, means that charm, culture and convenience converge at your doorstep.

Sophisticated Rooms & Suites

Itza’s accommodations range from Deluxe Queen and Double Twin rooms to spacious Junior Suites and elegant Deluxe Suites with balconies or city views.

Each room features refined finishes — designer linens, rainfall showers, high-speed WiFi, and thoughtful amenities that blend comfort and style. Some suites even provide sweeping views of Cuenca’s iconic cathedral domes, adding a dramatic backdrop to your stay.

Dining, Lounge & Views

True to boutique form, the hotel hosts a selection of inviting venues. Indulge in modern Ecuadorian and international cuisine at the on-site restaurant, savour handcrafted cocktails in the Whisky Lounge, and ascend to the acclaimed Zaza 360° rooftop bar for panoramic city and mountain vistas. These experiences transform a nightly stay into moments of lasting memory.
