This fabulous, 100-year-old colonial spa hotel -- Mansion Santa Isabella --  is located in Riobamba, Ecuador, and has been a favorite boutique hotel since 2014 and a preferred destination for rest and relaxation. Riobamba is one of the largest cities in the central portion of Ecuador's Sierra region and is ideal for tourists and business travelers, as it is a perfect midway stopping point between the cultural Andes city of Cuenca and Ecuador's capital city of Quito.

Riobamba's close proximity to the Avenue of the Volcanoes and the famed Chimborazo, the highest volcano and mountain in Ecuador, makes this an ideal hotel for climbers, hikers, and tourists wanting to see the extraordinary and mystical volcanoes. Nearby attractions also include Pro Bici (0.3 miles), Catedral de Riobamba (0.4 miles), and Lakes of Ozogoche (Lagunas de Ozogoche) (0.6 miles). The train station is 2 blocks away.
