Hotel Victoria

Cuenca


One of several grand 17th-century houses on the barranco over Río Tomebamba, the Victoria’s 23 impeccable hacienda-style rooms have exposed wooden beams, comfy beds and modern bathrooms. Two suites have giant terraces over the river and many rooms have views, making this a lovely high-end choice. The attentive service and excellent restaurant round out the experience.
