Arranged across all three of its floors, the rooms and suites at Casa Gangotena Boutique Hotel in Quito provide a seamless connection to the renovated design of the old house while still paying homage to its history.
All rooms and suites vary in size yet remain spacious and make plenty of use of the mansion’s tall and luxurious ceilings. Large vertical windows also draw in plenty of natural light from the outside. Plush carpets, flowing curtains, and Art Deco furniture in the form of desks, armoires, tables, and armchairs are found within all of them.
Casa Gangotena’s rooms and suites come with their own private bathroom (nearly all with separate bathtubs and showers).
Located in the southwestern wing, our Luxury Plus Room impresses with its neoclassical columns, an original fresco mural, and the intricate stuccowork that’s complemented by the floral Art Nouveau frieze which runs along the ceiling’s cornicing.
Adorned with plush upholstery, luxurious carpets, fine linens, and extravagant furnishings, our Luxury Rooms provide the perfect way to relax in style and enjoy peace and tranquility in private.
Our Plaza View Rooms have stunning views of Quito’s Historic Center, these of which include the San Francisco Church and Convent and its expansive cobbled plaza. In addition to the mesmerizing views they offer, sophisticated decor and plenty of natural light make these rooms a special treat for the senses.
Our Balcony Junior Suite is a superb choice for those wishing to enjoy a private balcony that allows one to step outside and soak it all in.

Inside, the suite is decorated with beautiful murals and neoclassical stucco columns.
Once used as the “Tea Room” by the Gangotena family, our Junior Suite is often regarded as one the most special rooms in the entire mansion.
