Ecuador, Quito
Casa Gangotena
(5 stars)A former family home, this 18th-century mansion house is found on Plaza San Francisco in Quito. High-ceilinged period public spaces have a palatial look and feel, thanks to liveried doormen, an attentive concierge, original frescoes, heavy carved doors, a grand sweeping staircase and dark wooden panelling, while bedrooms (31 of them set across two floors) have received a lighter decorative touch. There’s a lounge with a glass-atrium roof for coffee or a Quinteñan High Tea taken from the comfort of a sofa, a bar and Cedrón restaurant for all meals (breakfast is served buffet-style).
