At Carlota, experiences are an essential part of the stay. Our activities are designed to connect guests with local culture, creativity and well-being, offering moments to slow down, learn and share — all within the unique setting of a sustainable design boutique hotel in Quito’s Historic Center.
Participatory cuisine, local sourcing, living culture
Our cooking experiences bring guests together to discover Ecuadorian flavors in a participatory and relaxed way, guided by local chefs and producers. More than a class, it is a cultural encounter that values responsible sourcing, culinary traditions, and conscious consumption.
Technique, seasonality, and territory on the plate
These sessions explore the techniques and stories behind Carlota’s cuisine — from selecting local and seasonal ingredients to final plating. They promote a gastronomy deeply connected to territory and respect for natural cycles and ingredients.
City, landscape, and purposeful gathering
The rooftop becomes a social and cultural wellbeing space. Brunches, tastings, and sunset gatherings invite guests to experience the city with pause and awareness, promoting low-impact and high cultural value moments.
Local scene and authentic cultural connection
Live music brings local artists into Carlota’s spaces, creating intimate moments of cultural exchange. These gatherings strengthen the city’s creative scene and foster authentic connection between guests, community, and place.
Ideas, dialogue, and learning with impact
Carlota hosts small-scale talks and conversations around culture, design, sustainability, and community. These are dialogue spaces that spark ideas, share knowledge, and promote learning with positive impact.
Mindful wellbeing in heritage spaces
Yoga sessions invite guests to reconnect body and mind within a calm and inspiring heritage setting. They integrate wellbeing, design, and spatial awareness, encouraging personal balance and respectful connection with the environment.
Origin, traceability, and living heritage
Cacao experiences explore the origin, flavor, and history of Ecuadorian cacao together with local producers and experts. They are sensory journeys that value origin, traceability, and responsible trade.
