Hotel Finlandia is located in Quito's financial center and is close to the city's major shopping malls: Quicentro, which has a bowling alley and a game arcade, Mall El Jardín, and Centro Comercial Iñaquito which has movie theaters, a playhouse, and an ice-skating rink as well. The Historic Downtown is less than 20 minutes away by taxi. There are plenty of restaurants around and La Carolina Park is one block away.
Its fabulous location is only matched by its comfort and pleasant atmosphere achieved through a modern, simple-line and colorful decoration.
A buffet breakfast boasting a variety of yogurts, bread, fresh fruit juices, and fruit, is served in the restaurant and, at a time when very few things are free, this delicious start of the day is included in the room price along with a welcome drink!
