Our History
Origin and Foundation of the Hotel
The Hotel Árbol de Fuego was founded on February 10, 2001. Before becoming a hotel, the project began as a tea room built on vacant land, where small events were held for approximately four years.
Its founder, Doña Teresa González, became interested in the hotel industry after attending cooking classes for tea rooms and small hotels, which motivated her to research, seek advice, and begin construction of the hotel.
The hotel opened its doors with 13 rooms under the name Árbol de Fuego (Tree of Fire), inspired by this emblematic tropical tree that poetically symbolizes the identity and warmth of the Salvadoran people.
Located in Antiguo Cuscatlán, one of the best areas of San Salvador, the hotel is close to shopping centers, museums, the Zona Rosa, the U.S. Embassy, industrial areas, banks, restaurants, and pupuserías, as well as being only 45 minutes from the international airport.
Eco-Hotel Pionero en El Salvador
Árbol de Fuego is one of El Salvador's first eco-hotels, combining sustainable practices with city comforts. Located in San Salvador, it offers a tranquil tropical setting surrounded by gardens, without straying far from the main urban attractions. While enjoying the proximity to the capital, you can relax in a natural refuge that reflects harmony, rest, and respect for the environment.
History
Árbol de Fuego began as a family project focused on creating a place of rest that combines hospitality, Salvadoran culture, and respect for nature. Located in one of the quietest areas of San Salvador, the hotel was conceived as an urban retreat where every detail reflects identity, warmth, and environmental commitment.
Over time, Árbol de Fuego has established itself as a boutique eco-hotel, integrating architecture, local art, and living gardens to offer an authentic, conscious experience with personalized service.
Our Operations
Árbol de Fuego's operations are based on the concept of an eco-hotel, an environmentally responsible accommodation that applies green living practices in every area. Through an eco-efficiency plan, we seek to produce more with fewer resources, reducing pollution and optimizing the use of energy and water.
Our goal is to support sustainable development by promoting more responsible, innovative, and competitive operations. Thanks to this approach, the hotel was recognized as a success story and has received several awards, including the Travellers Awards from 2022 to 2026 from Booking, SICCS (Central American Integrated Quality and Sustainability System) certification, and the Environment Award in the Urban Hotel category.
