Casa Gangotena

In the famous Plaza San Francisco- Casa Gangotena brings new life to this mansion that once belonged to one of Quito s most illustrious and influential families. Its neoclassical architecture- recognized as part of the Old Town s UNESCO World Heritage status-wraps around a charming patio adorned with palm trees and an original fountain. Inside- rays from the Andean sun bathe the art deco-style rooms in shimmering light. Reflecting the splendor and elegance of a golden age-they boast antique mirrors- painted ceilings- and sumptuous wall frescoes. From the rooftop terrace-as you sip a delicious local coffee or signature cocktail-you may catch a glimpse of the snow-capped summit of Volcan Cayambe.
