AN ICONIC BOUTIQUE HOTEL RIGHT IN THE HEART OF QUITO

Welcome to Casa Gangotena, Boutique Hotel in Quito

Experience unparalleled elegance and luxury at Casa Gangotena, a premier luxury hotel in Ecuador, located in Quito’s vibrant Old Town. Nestled beside the iconic San Francisco Plaza, this eclectically appointed mansion embodies the spirit of the capital city’s rich history. As a guest, you’re invited to immerse yourself in the bygone era’s luxury while enjoying seamless access to the historic quarter’s enchanting sights and sounds right outside our doorstep.

The Casa Gangotena mansion is steeped in its own rich history, too. Once the home of several Republican-era presidents, the residence was eventually claimed by the prominent Gangotena family. The Gangotena’s took it upon themselves to renovate it lavishly and embellish it with even more intricate history, such that it would eventually become a part of the capital’s—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—cultural heritage inventory!  

Casa Gangotena is the only Relais & Châteaux property in Quito and holds the title of being a “Leading Boutique Hotel” by the World Travel Awards.
