NEW BOUTIQUE HOTEL AT EMBLEMATIC SQUARE OF ITS HISTORIC CENTRE
The fascinating and unique charm of the emblematic Square of San Francisco, one of the major beacons of Quito, the capital of Ecuador’s history since Pre-Incan days, will have, since the present month of September, a new landmark feature: the luxurious Casa Gangotena Boutique Hotel.
Located on the southern edge of the famous square, just feet away from the near five hundred year old imposing Church and Convent of San Francisco; Casa Gangotena is a newly restored aristocratic mansion, which will become one of the most exclusive and tempting lodging options for travelers who can now combine top-notch luxury and modern technology, with the unique ambiance of a Patrimonial Home, located in the heart of the “Old City”, which maintains its original architectonic style and a superbly classy interior design that blends to perfection the antique with the most sophisticated contemporary design.
The Hotel boasts 31 superior rooms, beautifully decorated and equipped not only to satisfy but to truly impress the most demanding of voyagers. Each room is beautifully furnished with ample spaces, elegant amenities, state-of-the-art technology and, of course, impressively appointed private bathrooms.
Description
DESCRIPTION
The new 31 rooms hotel occupies a grand house on the corner of Plaza San Francisco, whose history stretches back to the time of the Incas, and it was one of the first plots allotted in the Colonial period. Over the following centuries, various wealthy families built their homes around the square, among them Casa Gangotena.
The Casa Gangotena, its last incarnation dating from early 20th century and included in Quito’s list of heritage properties, rises on the square’s south-western corner, the interiors of its three floors beautifully appointed with a feel of sophisticated yet understated luxury throughout. The style is eclectic and eye-catching, mixing Art Nouveau with contemporary design.
Attention-to-detail during restoration has been exceptional, maintaining nearly all of the house’s original architectural features. These include its tall, elegant windows, which provide fantastic views of the Panecillo hillside, the plaza and the cosy, characteristic inner courtyard. The restoration also reinforced the mansion from the bottom up, making it stronger than ever for the coming centuries.
The hotel features wonderful spaces for different moods and times of day: a garden-patio brimming with native plants, a dining room ideal for enjoying refined culinary experiences or simply people-watching in the square beyond, and a roof-top terrace with wrap-around views of the historic centre’s towers, tiles and spires – an unbeatable spot to watch the frequent religious and cultural events on the square below.
