Extended-Stay hotels, such as Residence Inn by Marriott, offer accommodations designed for longer stays, featuring larger rooms with kitchenettes or full kitchens, and are aimed at people who are relocating, or guests needing temporary housing.
Select-Service Hotels, such as Courtyard by Marriott and Hampton Inn, are similar to limited-service but may offer some extra amenities like a small breakfast bar or convenience shop.
Mixed-use developments are integrated into larger complexes that include other types of real estate such as offices, retail spaces, and even residential areas. These offer an all-in-one urban experience, often encompassing the skyscrapers or properties combined with shopping malls or residential buildings.

Each type of hotel development caters to a wide range of market needs, from budget stays to high-end luxury experiences.
Why Buy or Invest in New Real Estate Developments in Ecuador.
Ecuador’s tourism industry has been growing steadily, and cities like Quito, Guayaquil, and popular coastal destinations are attracting both international and local tourists. Investing in properties in high-traffic tourist areas can yield high returns.
With increasing tourism and expatriate interest, especially in cities like Quito, Cuenca, and coastal areas like Salinas, the demand for rental properties is growing. This creates opportunities for high returns on investment through rental income or property value appreciation.
Ecuador is home to a growing expat community, particularly from the U.S. and Europe. Many people are attracted to Ecuador for its welcoming culture, lower cost of living, and diverse landscapes, which in turn increases demand for homes, especially in areas popular with expatriates.
Ecuador has laws that protect foreign investors, making it easier for non-citizens to purchase property. Additionally, foreigners have the same property rights as Ecuadorians, which can add confidence for international buyers.
Ecuador is strategically located in South America, with access to both the Pacific Ocean and neighboring countries like Colombia and Peru. This makes it a good choice for those seeking opportunities in trade, tourism, or cross-border business.
