Timeless luxury in the heart of Old Quito
Casa Gangotena, a distinguished Relais & Chateaux boutique hotel in Quito, beckons guests into a world of timeless elegance and luxury nestled within the heart of the Old Town.
Positioned beside the historic Plaza San Francisco, this meticulously restored mansion seamlessly blends opulence with the capital city's rich history.
The culmination of a three-year restoration effort is evident in the 31 stylish rooms and suites spread across three floors, each adorned with high ceilings and sumptuous furnishings. Casa Gangotena's ambiance invites guests to connect effortlessly with the surrounding historic quarter.
Delight in traditional Ecuadorian cuisine at the hotel's restaurant, complemented by the unique Cafe Quiteño, offering its own interpretation of "high tea." The mansion itself carries a storied past, once serving as the residence of Republican-era presidents and later becoming the cherished property of the Gangotena family. Through their lavish renovations, the mansion now stands as a testament to cultural heritage, contributing to Quito's designation as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Best time for the coast and Galapagos due to warmer sea temperatures. Coastal regions enjoy warm temperatures, perfect for beach activities and water sports. Whilst it may occasionally rain, the weather is preferable for these activities compared to the dry season, which is cold and overcast. In the Andes, it is more likely to be humid and wet, meaning it is ideal for exploring cities and visiting indigenous markets, but less ideal for hiking and exploring. The Amazon rainforest is humid and wet and whilst the scenery is pleasant, the animals might be harder to find.
