Casa Gangotena

0 1 2 3

Sumptuous boutique hotel with muted neoclassical décor and an unrivalled location at the centre of Old Quito.

Casa Gangotena is a richly luxurious boutique hotel right on the main square of Quito’s old quarter. The building is a restored Renaissance-inspired mansion which preserves the opulent ambience and décor of its former incarnation. Furnishings and fittings are mostly neoclassical in flavour, the ornate design tempered by the use of muted colours – beige, light green, cream and gold.

Guestrooms are large, quiet and very well appointed. There is a nod to contemporary style in the spacious bathrooms where you will find marble bathtubs and rain showers.

Guests can book treatments at the onsite spa and there is a bar with great views over the plaza and a small patio garden. There is also a small Relais & Chateaux restaurant serving meals throughout the day.
