    COLONIAL MANSION IN THE HEART OF QUITO

    Ideally situated on the famous San Francisco Square, in the heart of the best-preserved historic district in the whole of the Americas, Casa Gangotena brings the mansion of one of Quito’s most illustrious families back to life. Its neoclassical architecture, listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site alongside the old town centre, unfolds around a delightful courtyard adorned with palms and fountains. The Andean sun bathes the 31 rooms, furnished in the Art Deco style. They have retained the splendour and elegance of a bygone era: antique mirrors, friezes, painted ceilings or sumptuous wall frescoes. At the restaurant, Chef Emilio Dalmau highlights ancestral Ecuadorian cuisine. From the roof terrace, while sipping a fine local hot chocolate or a cocktail, admire the panoramic views of the surrounding mountains and volcanoes.

    THE EXTRAORDINARY

    A true icon of Quito and a UNESCO World Heritage site, Casa Gangotena is an integral part of the city's history and of Plaza San Francisco, which dates back to Inca times. The property was purchased by the Gangotena family in the 18e century. Destroyed by fire, the private mansion was rebuilt in 1924 before becoming a hotel in 2011. For a more complete experience of Ecuador, why not combine Casa Gangotena with Pikaia Lodge to the Galapagos?

    ETHICS

    The Casa Gangotena hotel is involved in community projects focusing particularly on integration assistance and the promotion of cultural heritage. The hotel also works to encourage encounters between foreign visitors and locals to promote Ecuadorian traditions. Within the establishment, solar panels are used to heat water and waste is carefully recycled. On the catering side, the hotel gives preference to local suppliers as much as possible.
