Newly renovated with all modern conveniences, the Santa Lucia hotel is a gem in Cuenca's antique building collection, where guests can enjoy the elegant atmosphere of yesteryear in Ecuador combined with today's conveniences. Santa Lucia is a hotel unique unto itself in that it is one of Cuenca, Ecuador's most historic antique buildings. Not only that, but it is located in the Old Town district of Cuenca, which is a living museum itself.

The house where the Santa Lucia hotel is located was built by the first governor of Azuay province (where Cuenca is located), Don Manuel Vega Davila, in 1859. Azuay province is located in the Andes of southern Ecuador. The house remained in the Vega family for over a hundred years, being a peaceful witness of important episodes of the history of southern Ecuador.

The restoration of the house began in 1999 and lasted more than two and a half years. Santa Lucia hotel has rescued and preserved this piece of Cuenca heritage, keeping this house as an example of the architectural style of the last part of the XIX Century in Ecuador. At the same time, Hotel Santa Lucia offers its guests all the modern comforts.
