Situated in a newly-restored historic mansion overlooking Plaza San Francisco, the three-story Casa Gangotena harbours 31 rooms, a showcase of eye-catching style, contemporary design, antiques, fine furnishings, modern technologies and quintessential comforts.
Beautifully- and eclectically-appointed, the hotel invites its guests to explore and to relax, whether in the dining room, glassed-in patio, garden redolent with the perfume of native flowers, wood-panelled library, or else atop its panoramic third-floor terrace.
Quito’s captivating attractions lie right on the hotel’s doorstep. It makes an unbeatable base for admiring breathtaking Baroque churches, visiting local artisans and craft schools, exploring markets and museums, or simply making surprise discoveries amid the chess-board grid of streets. One could wander for days and still stumble upon something unexpected and fascinating...

Today, this historic mansion has been restored to be reborn as an elegant 31-room boutique hotel. Lying a stone’s throw from the gilt Jesuit church of La Compañía de Jesús, the Museum of the City, the Plaza Santo Domingo, the Presidential Palace, cultural centres and the bustle of Quito’s Old Town, Casa Gangotena enjoys an incredible location.

Dining at Casa Gangotena is an experience for all the senses, crowned by the impeccable ‘old school’ service of its wait staff. The menu celebrates Ecuadorian cooking from the Andes and the Coast, whether meat, fish, poultry or vegetarian, reflecting the country’s amazingly rich and diverse ingredients. Soups are a particular favourite. These change daily and according to season, served from traditional clay terrines with the extra ingredients Ecuadorians love to add as toppings arrayed as side dishes.
