The tour operator Gap Adventures has just acquired the first hotel in what is to be a completely new hotel brand - G Hotels. The first property under the brand's umbrella is located in Quito, Ecuador.

Designated as an historical heritage site by the city of Quito, the 24-room hotel will undergo refurbishment before officially opening in July. Renovations include an overall facelift and the addition of a meeting room for Gap Adventures tour briefings.

“This is an exciting step for Gap Adventures. G Hotels will be in locations were we tour most regularly and will add to the unique experience our passengers have come to expect from us,” said Bruce Poon Tip, CEO of Gap Adventures.

The Quito property is the first of four hotels Gap Adventures plans on acquiring in the coming year. Subsequent properties are schedule to open between now and 2010 in Lima and Cusco in Peru, as well as in Costa Rica.
