Hotel del Parque

Hotel del Parque is located in a 19-acre historic tropical park that is part of the Guayaquil Peninsula. The restored 44-room colonial mansion, surrounded by rare orchids, endemic trees and endangered protected animals, is regularly recognised in its quest to be among the best eco-friendly hotels in the world. It was built in 1891 by a Guayaquil charity as the first metropolitan hospice built to provide shelter for the homeless and the elderly. The hospice almost fell into ruins before being saved from demolition by the Ecuadorian government. It was then moved plank by plank to its current location in the Parque Historico and meticulously restored to its heritage state.
