Situated in a newly-restored historic mansion over-
looking Plaza San Francisco, the three-story Casa
Gangotena Boutique Hotel in Quito is home for 31
rooms and a true showcase of eye-catching style, a
fine mix of classic architecture, contemporary interior
design, antiques, fine furnishings, modern technology
and quintessential comforts. After a calamitous fire
that destroyed much of the house in 1914, it was
completely rebuilt in 1924 by its owners, the Gan-
gotena family, one of the capital’s leading families.
The Gangotena family owned the stately home un-
til the mid-2000’s when it was bought to convert it
into a world-class boutique hotel. In 1978 Quito was
declared the first-ever UNESCO World Heritage Site
city and considered the largest and best preserved His-
toric Center in the Americas. A few years later, Casa
Gangotena was included in the city’s cultural heritage
inventory. Beautifully and eclectically-appointed, the
hotel invites its guests to explore and relax, whether
you’re in its dining room, at the glassed-in patio, in
the garden scented with the perfume of local flowers,
at the elegant indoors Sitting Room by the patio or
atop its panoramic third-floor terrace.
Once you pass through the doors of this luxurious
hotel, the World Heritage wonders of Quito and the
vastly different and diverse worlds of Ecuador itself
wait for you. Sophisticated and eclectic, historic yet
contemporary, style, passion and service are seam-
lessly and delightfully combined at Casa Gangotena.
Since October of 2011, Casa Gangotena has been col-
lecting several Awards and Accolades of the utmost
prestige. Among them, it was included in Condé
Nast Traveler’s “Hot List” 2012; as well as the “It
List” of Travel + Leisure Magazine also in 2012, be-
ing the first time that a Hotel from Ecuador reached
