Hotel La Fontana
$125
Hotel La Fontana loomed in the humid shadows of Guayaquil, its once-vibrant dining area now a gallery of flickering candlelight and ghostly whispers, where the laughter of unseen children would ripple through the air, chilling the spine of any who dared to linger. Those who sipped their meals under the dim chandeliers often caught fleeting glimpses of spectral figures, their hollow eyes reflecting a joyless past, as if they were still feasting on moments long since devoured by time. Yet, it was the disquieting sense of being continually watched that left guests trembling, for behind every echo of laughter lingered the nauseating realization that they were not alone, not by a long shot.
