Hilton San Salvador stands in Colonia Escalón, the leafy, upscale western district of the capital where many of the city’s restaurants, cafes and shopping streets are found. The hotel is rated as a five-star property and offers an outdoor pool, a gym, a terrace and garden, a ballroom, and free Wi-Fi. Rooms range from standard king and double rooms to executive-floor rooms and suites, and many have views of the San Salvador volcano. The on-site restaurant El Mirador serves breakfast, and Essenza Coffee Deli and Bar covers coffee and light bites. Plaza Futura, with its cafes and steak restaurants, is only a few minutes on foot, so it is easy to eat out without a taxi. The hotel also runs a free area shuttle within a set radius, which helps for nearby errands.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at 89 Avenida Norte and 11 Calle Poniente in Escalón. Plaza Futura is about a three-minute walk, with Starbucks and a handful of restaurants a few minutes further, and the Redondel Masferrer roundabout is a longer walk. The President Theater and the Museum of Art are a short drive, the Multiplaza and Galerías malls are within a few kilometres, and the historic centre is roughly a 15 to 20 minute drive in light traffic.
The international airport is about 45 kilometres away, so allow at least 45 minutes to an hour by road, and arrange transfers in advance.
The rooms
Choose from king or double-bed rooms, executive-floor rooms with extra perks, and suites with balconies, and ask for a volcano-view room if the outlook matters. Free Wi-Fi and air conditioning are standard. The pool is outdoors, so check weather and opening times, and there is a gym for workouts.
Who it suits
Business travellers, couples and anyone who wants a full-service international brand in a walkable, restaurant-rich neighbourhood. It works well as a base for day trips because tour operators regularly pick up in Escalón.
