Hotel del Parque

Imagine a veritable time capsule hidden away from the hustle and bustle of the great Pacific port of Guayaquil. In the 1980s-historic buildings threatened with destruction were moved-rebuilt and renovated plank-by-plank on the banks of the Daule. Hotel del Parque was one of these buildings. Today-you can discover it standing elegantly-wrapped in the tropical bosom of a vast botanical garden. Sitting on the waterfront-the hotel s restaurant-Casa Julian-specialises in the finest seafood and freshest fish. Having embraced the local culinary tradition of soups and stews-its chef is also known to skillfully play with the flavours and textures of avocado-banana and cocoa.
