Casa Gangotena occupies a pivotal spot in Quito’s Old Town: the southwest corner of San Francisco Plaza, the history of which dates all the way back to the time of the Incas. According to early Spanish chroniclers, the plaza remained surrounded by temples and palaces during the 15th century, with one temple having sat right where Casa Gangotena now stands today. Over the course of the following centuries, the large plaza would serve as the site of a giant open-air market (otherwise known as a “Tianguiz”) for indigenous traders from the surrounding regions.
Several Art Nouveau and Art Deco elements from the original Casa Gangotena mansion shine today like never before. These include original and lovingly-restored painted ceilings, oil paintings, wooden paneling, gorgeous mirrors, murals, and friezes. This hotel in Quito is further adorned with fine antiques and beige Egyptian marble that adds warmth to its hallways. Striking Statuarietto marble, with its fine grey-colored veining, covers every bathroom from floor to ceiling.
The rooms at Casa Gangotena Boutique Hotel in Quito, with both double and king-size beds, are arranged across all three of its floors. Remaining faithful to the design of the old house, rooms vary in size yet all of them remain quite spacious, averaging around 35 square meters (377 square feet). All of our rooms benefit from the mansion’s tall, elegant ceilings which draw the bright Andean sunlight into their interiors.
Room and suites decoration consists of plush carpets, towering window frames, flowing curtains and Art Deco furniture such as desks, armoires, tables, and armchairs. All rooms are air-conditioned, carpeted, non-smoking and sound-proofed. All have their own private bathroom (nearly all with separate bathtubs and showers). Amenities include telephones, intelligent key-cards, in-room safe boxes, wireless internet and a flat-screen TV with international cable channels.
Casa Gangotena is part of Relais & Châteaux, an association of 580 unique hotels and restaurants throughout the world.
