Close to the airport and popular attractions

The Hotel del Parque is located just ten minutes from the José Joaquín de Olmedo International Airport in Guayaquil, which means that as soon as you land you are already in a tropical paradise.

Here, you are in the ideal location for easy access to tourist attractions such as the colorful Las Peñas neighborhood, the Guayaquil Metropolitan Cathedral, Santay Island, and the Anthropological and Contemporary Art Museum.

When you are ready to venture outside the privacy of our hotel, there is so much to see and do. The colonial city of Cuenca, the impressive “Avenida de los Volcanes”, the rides aboard a historic train, or the unspoilt beaches of the “Ruta del Sol” along the Pacific Coast are all nearby. Equally close and incredible is the biodiversity of the Amazon that stretches east of the Andes.

Feel free to ask one of our staff experts about the best way to travel anywhere, or about any of the attractions listed here.
