It was here, in the basin of the Guayas River, that commercial cacao plantations were first developed by Spanish colonists to supplant Mesoamerican production. This 11-story hotel, with an 80-store shopping center inside, is just three blocks from Malecon 2000, the recently completed two-kilometer promenade along the Guayas River that has turned the waterfront into a safe cultural, entertainment and restaurant area. |
