Art Hotels Ecuador announces upcoming opening of Hotel Rio Guayas in Guayaquil, Ecuador

Art Hotels Ecuador 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 unparhotealleled 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.

Guests can expect:

Exquisite Accommodations: Elegantly furnished rooms and suites that blend contemporary design with local craftsmanship, providing a serene retreat.
Curated Experiences: Exclusive experiences curated by Art Experiences Travel, ensuring guests immerse themselves in the local culture, history and the natural beauty of Ecuador.

A Commitment to Art and Culture: True to the ethos of Art Hotels Ecuador, Hotel Rio Guayas will serve as a cultural hub, showcasing an impressive collection of local art and hosting regular exhibitions and cultural events. The hotel’s interior decor is inspired by the rich history and vibrant culture of Guayaquil, creating a unique atmosphere that celebrates the city’s heritage.
Sustainability and Community Engagement: Hotel Rio Guayas is committed to sustainable practices and community engagement. The hotel incorporates eco-friendly technologies and initiatives aimed at reducing its environmental footprint. Art Hotels Ecuador has established itself as a pillar of luxury hospitality in Ecuador, dedicated to preserving heritage properties and enhancing local economies through employment opportunities and community programs.

“The upcoming opening of Hotel Rio Guayas marks a significant milestone in our ongoing efforts to promote Ecuador as a premier travel destination,” said Niels Olsen, Minister of Tourism for Ecuador. “This exceptional property not only offers luxury and comfort, but it also honors our rich cultural heritage. We are confident that Hotel Rio Guayas will attract visitors from around the world, contributing to the growth and development of our tourism industry and local communities.”

Art Hotels goes beyond providing luxury accommodations; it actively participates in local development through educational programs for entrepreneurs, fair trade practices, promotional campaigns, and community engagement initiatives. This dedication to improving the lives of neighbors and fostering sustainable tourism is a testament to Art Hotels Ecuador’s core values of art, history, and heritage preservation.
