Casa Gangotena Hotel Review, Quito, Ecuador

Cedrón is open for buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner. A cosy bar here stays open until 11pm. Menus showcase seasonal Ecuadorian ingredients and dishes were healthy and well executed. Starters from $7.50 (£6); salads $12 (£10) and mains from $22 (£18). A seven-course tasting menu cost $77 (£63) ($117 [£95] with wine pairing).

Be sure to sample the Ecuadorian cacao fino de aroma — the sought-after cocoa pod makes a welcome appearance in the Quinteñan High Tea served in the conservatory-style courtyard. Filled with botanical-print sofas, oversize pot plants, orchids and well-thumbed tomes on flora and fauna, this airy space is a favourite with guests at any time of day.
