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.
