La Mirage

Perched on an Andean Hillside just north of Quito, La Mirage is a contemporary resort built on the grounds of 200 year old Hacienda. The only Five Star Hotel in the Province of Imbabura and only member of Relais & Chateaux in the entire country, La Mirage welcomes you to step into a magic atmosphere and enjoy traditional Ecuadorian hospitality.

Property Details

Located near the leather center of Cotacachi and famous for its large, colorful and bustling Saturday Indian Market (smaller markets take place on Wednesday through Friday), La Mirage is a feast for the senses.

Its 23 rooms and suites are each a one of a kind masterpiece.  With architectural genius and lavish landscaping, each of the units seem like a separate cottage.  Some are, in fact, single units. Others are in groups of twos or threes.  The elegant furnishings at La Mirage are an eclectic blend of local and European pieces, all distinctive, yet cozy.  There are fireplaces in all of the rooms and the Mirage staff, dressed in native Otavalo garb, come by after dark to light a welcome fire and warm the chilly Andean evening.

Other guest facilities include a tennis court, a solar heated swimming pool, a Spa Center complete with steam bath, Jacuzzi and aroma therapy massages.

There is also a cozy bar with a warm fireplace and a dining room with great views of the Andean hillsides and snow-capped mountains.  The extensive grounds invite long and wandering strolls, or horse back riding is available as well as mountain bikes.
