Stay at Casa Gangotena

Presiding over the Plaza San Francisco in Quito’s colonial Old Town, Casa Gangotena is a beautifully restored mansion offering sweeping views of the city and a prime location for cultural exploration.

We love the rooftop terrace for an evening cocktail, and the walled garden is a peaceful place to sit back and relax. The interiors are inspired by the design of the original house with wooden panels, hand painted murals and traditional furnishings.

Why we love it

Excellent central location in the heart of Old Quito
Elegantly restored family mansion steeped in colonial history and 1920s glamour
Excellent restaurant serving Ecuadorian dishes with a contemporary twist

True Travel was an absolute pleasure to deal with as we planned a special anniversary trip to South Africa. We worked with Felix who was always helpful, responsive and super informative. Everything was 5 star and perfectly planned. The hotels were superb and the tour guides were top notch. Felix filled our days with great activities and booked all of our delicious meals. The app kept us informed during the planning and as we travelled. The transfers were prompt, safe and informative. A FABULOUS trip all around. This was our second time using True Travel and I recommend True Travel to friends and family (and I already have). We cant wait to plan another special trip with them!
