CASA GANGOTENA

The grand residence of Quito

Overlooking Plaza San Francisco in the heart of Quito’s historic centre, Casa Gangotena occupies one of the most privileged addresses in South America.

More than a hotel, it feels like a beautifully restored private residence, offering travellers an elegant introduction to Ecuador’s cultural and architectural heritage. Historic grandeur, refined interiors and exceptional service combine to create an atmosphere that is both sophisticated and deeply welcoming.

Step outside and centuries of history unfold in every direction. Colonial churches, hidden courtyards, artisan workshops and vibrant local life reveal one of Latin America’s most fascinating historic centres. Yet despite its central location, Casa Gangotena remains a sanctuary of calm and refinement.

Afternoons are best spent on the rooftop terrace, watching the changing light over the city while the surrounding hills frame one of the continent’s most beautiful urban landscapes.

Timeless, elegant and unmistakably Ecuadorian.

A hotel that sets the tone for the journey ahead.
