Art Hotels Ecuador is thrilled to announce the upcoming opening of Hotel Rio Guayas, a much-awaited addition to its prestigious portfolio of luxury boutique hotels in Ecuador. The property is set to welcome guests in the fourth quarter of 2024 and will be in the heart of the vibrant city of Guayaquil, Ecuador (a city which serves as the gateway to the Galapagos). Hotel Rio Guayas promises to deliver an unparalleled experience of sophistication, comfort, and cultural richness. The property will be the brand's fourth hotel in Ecuador (current properties are in Quito, Otavalo and Cuenca) and is evidence of the strong demand that exists for boutique hotels with history and purpose among North American travelers.

As a new landmark in Guayaquil, Hotel Rio Guayas stands as a beacon of modern elegance and tradition, offering breathtaking views of the Guayas River. The hotel is strategically situated in the historic neighborhood of Las Peñas, on the traditional street Numa Pompilio Llona, the first neighborhood of Guayaquil with over 400 years of history. Declared a cultural heritage site in 1982, Las Peñas is home to many historical figures, including presidents, musicians, poets, and even Che Guevara, who served as a pediatrician in the area.

"We are incredibly excited to soon welcome guests to Hotel Rio Guayas and to share the rich cultural tapestry of Guayaquil with the world. Our goal is to provide an unparalleled experience that combines luxury, comfort, and a deep connection to the local heritage," said Sebastian Vergara, President & CEO of Art Hotels Ecuador. "As we prepare to open our doors, we invite travelers to immerse themselves in the history and beauty of Las Peñas, while enjoying the exceptional service and amenities that Art Hotels Ecuador is renowned for."

With meticulously designed rooms and suites, Hotel Rio Guayas features state-of-the-art amenities that ensure a stay marked by comfort and opulence, a standard that has been set by its sister properties - Hotel Mama Cuchara, Hotel Otavalo and Hotel Cruz del Vado.
