Unashamedly contemporary, the high-rise Hilton Colon Hotel is situated overlooking Ejido Park in the modern part of Quito, with all its shops and entertainment, but it’s just a short drive to the UNESCO-listed historic quarter. As is the case with most first class accommodation in the Hilton brand, the guestrooms are well-sized, smart and business-like with laminate or carpeted floor and feature up-to-the-minute bathroom design.
It’s quite a large place, with 225 rooms, and caters for all sorts of guest from holiday makers to families and businessmen and women, which means there are plenty of facilities, including three restaurants (one of which is the inevitable sushi), a cosy piano bar, a small gym, steam room and Jacuzzi. There’s an attractive outdoor swimming pool with sun loungers.
