 Santa Lucia (Deluxe boutique)

If you are looking to experience traditional Spanish style city living at its best you’ve found the right place. 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. 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 Ecuador. At the same time our hotel offers its guests all the modern comforts. In 2002 the city of Cuenca awarded our hotel the prize: “Fray José María Vargas” for the best restoration of a historical building.
