Check availability Official websiteThe 10-acre property encompasses a 4-hectare botanical garden that recreates the natural habitat of more than 50 animal species. The sanctuary functions as both a guest amenity and a conservation space, with flora and fauna integrated into the landscape design. Historic structures sit within this tropical setting, creating the effect of stepping into both a preserved past and a living ecosystem.
In the 1980s, historic buildings threatened with destruction were relocated from their original sites to the Daule riverbank. These 19th-century structures were rebuilt plank-by-plank and fully renovated. This relocation and reconstruction project transformed the property into a single unified sanctuary, with the preserved buildings and botanical gardens functioning as one integrated entity.
Hotel del Parque sits on the waterfront of the Daule River, one of the two major rivers that frame Guayaquil. The location offers river-based access and views toward the city, which appears as both historic architecture and modern development from the water. Boat trips down the Daule and Guayas rivers provide scenic routes that contextualize the hotel's position within the greater Guayaquil landscape. City sightseeing experiences are available from the property, connecting guests to the broader region.
