Hilton Colón Guayaquil

Frommer's Review

This hotel is housed in a modern high-rise and it's definitely the best hotel in the city. It has a charming ambience and is extremely comfortable. The hotel has become an institution in Guayaquil -- its restaurants, banquet halls, and bars are frequented by the crème de la crème of Ecuadorian society. The rooms are large with big windows -- some rooms offer views of planes taking off and landing at the nearby airport. The suites and executive doubles have new plasma-screen televisions. The corner suites are the most desirable -- each has a lovely balcony with a great view. The marble bathrooms are huge and sparkling. The beautiful outdoor pool has a swim-up bar and a snack bar for alfresco dining. The coffee shop serves excellent Ecuadorian specials at reasonable prices; and the Portofino restaurant is the best and most elegant Italian eatery in Guayaquil. Several airline offices, including LAN Chile, TACA, and KLM, are located in the shopping arcade adjacent to the hotel lobby, as is a little sushi bar. Tip: The Hilton Colón is located close to the airport, which makes it an ideal place for people trying to catch an early flight to the Galápagos. Be sure to book online or through an agency, where you can get rates far, far better than the rack rates listed here.
