Stunning hotel at superb location
Pros:

Stunning hotel - at an amazing location. We had the top 2 suites - with a connecting hallway great for families. Large rooms that easy fitted the third bed for the kids. We had a lovely private terrace with view on the statue overseeing the city. Staff was attentive, the breakfast was great with combination of buffet and à la cart options. Location enables beautiful view and easy visit to the old town

Best in Quito for charm character and service
Pros:

Amazing hotel and exceptional service levels. I had a great room with a room facing the square. The sound proofing is excellent. I loved the quiet courtyard in the middle filled with carefully curated plants. Even hummingbirds visited. I am extremely impressed with the restaurant cuisine. Easily the best I have tried in Quito. Location is in the Old Town which is charming. Just be aware not to wander out late at night. Love this hotel.

Anghelo is remarkable
Pros:

We loved our stay here, the biggest shoutout goes to Anghelo on the terrace. He is the sweetest soul my wife, sister and future brother in law have ever met. He is a special human being that made this stay truly remarkable. We will never forget our evening on the terrace at the Casa. Can’t recommend this hotel and Anghelo ENOUUGH

Opulence in Quito's heart
Pros:

In the heart of Centro Historico in Quito, Casa Gangotena is a luxurious oasis in the bustling city. Opulent and unashamedly indulgent, it is a spectacularly beautiful building. The service is attentive yet understated, the rooms airy and elegant, and the restaurant excellent. It is not cheap, especially for Ecuador, but it is worth the indulgence for a night or two to spoil yourself. The view from the rooftop bar and terrace is gorgeous, especially on a clear evening. They can arrange tours if you so wish, around Quito and beyond. The courtyard garden beyond the stunning conservatory whirrs with hummingbirds. Altogether, a quite unforgettable place.

Top notch stay in Quito
Pros:

This gorgeous hotel has it all. It’s a former palace and is beautiful everywhere you look. Filled with fresh roses and light, the back courtyard is enchanting. Our room overlooked the square and the church of San Francisco for a stunning view. Rooms are large with marble bathrooms. The staff is warm, friendly and helpful. Don’t miss the rooftop for a cocktail at sunset. The restaurant is wonderful. Breakfasts are delicious and the chef’s tasting menu for dinner was fun and very tasty. You can also order à la carte. I highly recommend this property when in Quito.
