Casa Gangotena

Situated in a newly-restored historic mansion overlooking Plaza San Francisco, the three-story Casa Gangotena Boutique Hotel in Quito harbors 31 rooms, a showcase of eye-catching style, a fine mix of classic architecture, contemporary interior design, antiques, fine furnishings, modern technology and quintessential comforts.

Beautifully and eclectically-appointed, the hotel invites its guests to explore and relax, whether you're in the dining room, the glassed-in patio, in the garden redolent with the perfume of native flowers, at the elegant indoors Sitting Room by the patio or atop its panoramic third-floor terrace.

Beyond the doors of this luxurious hotel, the UNESCO World Heritage wonders of Quito as well as the vastly-different and diverse worlds of Ecuador itself await. Sophisticated and eclectic, historic yet contemporary, style, passion and service blend seamlessly and delightfully at Casa Gangotena.

Case Gangotena's rooms, with both double and king-size beds, are arrayed across all three of its floors. Due to the property's heritage character, rooms vary in size, although they are all comfortably ample, averaging 35 square meters (377 square feet) in area. All benefit from the mansion's elegant tall ceilings and windows, which draw the bright Andean sunlight into their interiors.

Their decor plays off with rich carpets, towering window frames, flowing curtains and Art Deco-style furniture such as desks, armoires, tables and armchairs. All the rooms are air-conditioned, carpeted, non-smoking and sound-proofed, with private bathrooms (nearly all with separate bathtubs and showers), and with telephones, intelligent key-cards, in-room safe boxes, wireless internet, and flat-screen TV sets with international cable channels.

Set within a historic mansion, each room offers a unique layout and perspective. On the ground floor, two Luxury rooms have garden access. The first floor has The Balcony Junior Suite overlooking the garden with views south of the city, nine Luxury rooms and four Plaza View rooms. On the second floor, there are eight Luxury rooms and four Plaza View rooms. On both the first and second floors, one suite can be separated or combined into two connecting or individual Luxury rooms. Finally, two Luxury rooms complete the third floor.
