Hotel Guaraní Esplendor & Casino

Hotel Guaraní Esplendor is one of Asunción's most emblematic and historically significant hotels, a modernist architectural building inaugurated in 1961 that dominated the Paraguayan capital's skyline for decades. The hotel was restored and converted into a five-star Esplendor chain establishment, maintaining its architectural and heritage value as one of the most recognizable buildings in Asunción's historic center, meters from Plaza Independencia and facing the façade of the Palace of the López. The integrated casino floor offers more than 100 electronic gaming machines, being one of the main entertainment destinations in the capital's center.

The Guaraní and Asunción's historical identity

Hotel Guaraní was designed by architect José Borghese and is considered a representative work of the modern movement in Paraguay. Its circular-plan tower, unprecedented in Paraguayan architecture of the era, was a symbol of the country's development and modernization in the second half of the twentieth century. The building is located meters from the National Congress, the House of Independence where Paraguayan independence was signed in 1811, and the National Pantheon of Heroes, the sites of greatest historical and symbolic value in the Paraguayan nation. This location makes it the casino hotel of greatest tourist and historical relevance in the country.

The 195-room hotel features restaurants, bars, terraces and event halls. The casino offers Jackpot Slots machines, video machines, touchbet electronic roulettes and an atmosphere combining five-star hotel luxury with gaming entertainment.

The G&M Paraguay 2025 event venue, the country's main iGaming industry event, was held at Hotel Guaraní, consolidating its role as the epicenter of Paraguay's gaming sector.
