On Plaza San Francisco in Quito’s UNESCO old town, Casa Gangotena is a Relais & Chateaux boutique hotel in a restored Art Deco mansion, with contemporary Ecuadorian dining, a rooftop terrace and Old Town access.
Casa Gangotena is a boutique hotel on Plaza San Francisco in Quito’s Old Town, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, in a restored mansion once home to Republican-era presidents and the Gangotena family, about an hour from the airport. Rooms come in three categories, Luxury, Plaza View and Suite, averaging around 35 square metres, with Art Deco furnishings, air conditioning, soundproofing and blackout curtains, and two Luxury rooms can connect for families.
Dining is at the Casa Gangotena Restaurant, serving Cocina Mestiza, contemporary Ecuadorian fusing indigenous, Spanish and global influences, with breakfast, afternoon tea and dinner, plus a third-floor panoramic rooftop terrace, an orchid-filled inner patio for a traditional Quiteno high tea and a VIP salon in the former ballroom. There is a wellness area with yoga on request rather than a spa or pool. Set in a restored historic mansion with tall ceilings and an inner courtyard, it offers curated tours to Mitad del Mundo, Cotopaxi and Otavalo and Old Town walking tours, with onward Galapagos and cloud-forest journeys via sister brands. A member of Relais & Chateaux and part of Metropolitan Touring, it suits heritage and boutique travellers, culture and food lovers and couples who want walkable Old Town access.
