The first luxury boutique hotel in the bustling port city of Guayaquil, Hotel del Parque is a uniquely Ecuadorean take on five-star accommodation. The gleaming white 19th-century building sits in the Parque Historico, an oasis of swaying palms and fragrant tropical flowers. Inside are striking interiors by acclaimed designer Julio Vinueza, featuring cool, muted colours and authentic Ecuadorean furniture (both antique and modern).
