Hotel Río Amazonas

Hotel Río AmazonasAt 10 stories, this modern business hotel towers over the Mariscal district. As you walk through the glass doors, marble floors and a broad marble reception desk greet you, and you’ll immediately feel a sense of calm overtake you — a stark contrast to the bustle of busy Avenida Amazonas just outside.

Rooms are tidy, spacious, and modern, with plenty of amenities. Try for a room on a higher floor, to take advantage of the views. This hotel does a brisk business with tour and events groups, and is often quite busy.
