Hampton by Hilton Carolina Park Quito
The Hampton by Hilton Carolina Park is a 12-story hotel in Quito’s financial district. The first 10 floors are home to the Hampton by Hilton Quito’s 135 guest rooms, while Zenith Suites operates 16 serviced apartments on the upper floors. Guests will enjoy the hotel’s many amenities, including modern meeting rooms, a fitness center, and a roof garden with views of the surrounding landscape.
The hotel was designed to utilize resource-efficient design features and technologies to reduce its environmental impact and save on operating costs. LED lighting, an energy-efficient cooling system, and a heat pump for hot water generation will contribute to the building’s energy savings, while water-efficient and low-flow plumbing fixtures will contribute to the building’s water savings.
The hotel was designed by Odd+Architects and will be managed by Hotel Colon International C.A., a pioneer in Ecuador’s hospitality industry.
Hampton by Hilton Quito has received an EDGE Advanced certificate from GBCI.
