Hotel Silberstein
A Great History. In the 20th Century
Hotel Silberstein Galapagos is not only a very beautiful hotel, but it also has a remarkable history. In the 20th century, the Angermeyer family arrived in the Galápagos Islands and built their charming, well-designed residence, surrounded by lush gardens.
Many years later, in 1993, the residence was purchased by a German couple, who renovated the property and named it “Hotel Silberstein Galapagos.”
Since then, the building has undergone continuous improvements, always preserving its historical essence.
