Casa Gangotena
A certain quixotic spell is cast upon you when you step into Casa Gangotena. Situated in Quito’s famed Plaza San Francisco, this exquisitely transformed 1920s mansion serves as the perfect base for exploring the best-preserved Spanish colonial city in all of Latin America. Its 31 light-filled rooms exude a refined elegance with towering ceilings, handpainted murals, art deco armoires and rich fabrics. Every evening, enjoy free activities, such as chocolate tasting and viewing historic sites from the rooftop terrace. Acclaimed Chef Andrés Davila exercises his chops with regionally influenced cuisine.
