WHY WE LIKE THIS HOTEL

The Casa Gangotena is the height of luxury and sophistication in Quito, perfectly positioned in city’s UNESCO old town. Dating back to the days of the conquistadors and lavishly restored, the Casa Gangotena offers a slice of Ecuador’s rich history amidst an eclectic mix of architectural styles. Classic colonial elegance and antique furniture merge with eye-catching art nouveau decor from the ornate mirrors and hand-painted Italian frescoes to colourful tin ceilings. There are sweeping communal areas throughout that include patios, gardens and a wonderful roof terrace that offers panoramic views over the old town and surrounding hills. The ground-floor restaurant celebrates the very best of Ecuadorian cuisine, an exquisite mix of Andean and coastal flavours. Traditional stews, ceviches and their signature soups are fused with international techniques and flavours.
