San Pedro de Riobamba

Simple, colonial elegance.

Overview

Setting

In heart of Riobamba, across from the Railway Station.

Set in the heart of Riobamba’s downtown, this hotel makes the perfect stop over for anyone travelling on Ecuador’s famous ‘Devil’s Nose’ train journey. With very friendly, welcoming and personalised service, the hotel was originally a house of a worker from the Ecuadorean railway worker which has been fully rebuilt and refurbished, though keeping its original colonial style.

Insider Knowledge
It is from here that you can take one of the most famous train journeys in the world. The train journey between Riobamba and Alausi is part of a railroad that was originally built to connect the Andes with the coast, considered to be one of the world’s best railway engineering feats. This scenic railroad travels over a series of switchbacks as it zigzags down the steep mountainside, along river valleys and small villages and has to negotiate the Nariz del Diablo (the Devil’s Nose), offering not just a thrilling ride, but spectacular views of Chimborazo.
