MANSION DEL RIO

Guayaquil’s only boutique hotel, the Mansion del Rio is a refurbished early 20th-century villa of just eleven rooms still preserving the feel of a private residence. Original features and antique furnishings adorn the inside of the hotel with classically styled rooms that that look over the Guayas River.  A roof terrace also makes the most of these views and the hotel’s position (especially if your room isn’t on the river side).  Set into the hillside of the city’s Las Penas neighborhood, you are moments from the Malecon and a ten-minute drive from the airport.
