Hilton Colón Quito ReviewWhen the Hilton Colón opened, in 1967, it was the only high-end hotel in town. It quickly became a major cultural and business-meeting spot for locals and visitors alike. Today it faces stiff competition from both large chains and small boutique hotels. Still, the Hilton is a good and well-located choice -- it's right near Parque El Ejido, Casa de la Cultura, and the business center of the city. It is particularly popular as a quick overnight base for folks heading to or from the Galápagos or other far-flung destinations in the country. The rooms and suites here are quite spacious, and all have been remodeled and updated in recent years. Those on the lower floors, however, are susceptible to street noise. The massive suites feature 42-inch plasma televisions. This hotel is always a beehive of activity, and yet the service is superb. Facilities: 4 restaurants; bar; lounge; casino; midsize outdoor pool; small health club; Jacuzzi; sauna; concierge; tour desk; free airport shuttle; business center; shopping arcade; salon; 24-hr. room service; in-room massage; babysitting; laundry service; same-day dry cleaning; smoke-free floors; executive/club floor Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
