The Eugenio Espejo Convention Center occupies the building that up to some decades ago was one of the most important hospital centers in Quito. Today, the new center offers the most diverse possibilities –in space as well as in technology and services– to promote congress and convention activities towards new horizons. It is located in an important area in the city, equally distant from the main hotels and the Historic Center. The Eugenio Espejo Convention Center is proud to be the only building in the capital city to have an infrastructure and technology especially designed for those purposes.

The Convention Center was built between 1901 and 1933, when the hospital was opened.

This remarkable architectural ensemble re-opened its doors in 2008 as a convention center after undergoing a detailed renovation that evokes all the flavor of an era. Since then, it has received thousands of visitors that highlight its exceptional characteristics. At present, the Eugenio Espejo Convention Center is one of the most prestigious in Latin America.
