Beautifully situated near the banks of the Daule River close to the city’s bustling riverfront, Malecon 2000. Originally built in 1891 as a hospice, it was transported brick-by-brick to the eight-hectare Parque Historico in the 1980s where it was re-erected and lovingly restored. Following a four year project, the building was turned into stylish accommodation that marries the charm of an historic building with the comfort and sophistication of a modern luxury hotel. Palm leaves and exotic flowers nod in the hazy breeze of the Daule river.
The hotel facilities include the Casa Julián Restaurant offering gourmet cuisine and two inner courtyards with fountains, lush tropical plants and comfortable rattan chairs. Enjoy a massage or beauty treatments in a unique setting within the wood-beamed bell tower of the original restored tower.
The elegant guest bedrooms and suites are set across two floors and are furnished with Ecuadorian furniture and art, both antique and modern in style. The pale grey and yellow hues contrast refreshingly with the exuberant tropical oasis outside while respecting the historical origins of the property. Guayaquil is a delightful city to explore with its charming neighbourhoods, meandering rivers and picturesque parks. It is a fantastic gateway for trips to the Galapagos, Pacific coast or the Andes. The hotel is approximately 15 minutes from Guayaquil international airport.
