Hotels in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Once again Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has become an urban tourist destination. And we say it has become because back in the 70s and 80s the area of Las Canteras beach was a claim for British and Nordic tourism. The following decades mass tourism was established in the south of Gran Canaria. This is where the largest tourist areas on the island are concentrated today. However, this does not mean that more and more people are traveling to Gran Canaria to visit Las Palmas de Gran Canaria and enjoy its gastronomy, culture, urban beaches, old town and authenticity.

In the following lines, we will list the hotels that we recommend in the city.

1. Suites 1478 hotel

Suites 1478 is one of the few boutique hotels in Gran Canaria. It is located in an emblematic Canarian house in the old town of Vegueta. Its unique 9 rooms are super spacious and comfortable. The most curious thing about this hotel is that it has different works of art of all kinds in its common areas. It is as if you are staying in a museum. They have a spectacular buffet breakfast that you can also try if you are not staying there. They will invite you to two mimosas if you book in our site! 🙂

2. Hotel Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel 5*GL

It is one of the emblematic hotels of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria city and of the Canary Islands. It was inaugurated in 1890 and, therefore, it is a hotel with many stories to tell and where renowned personalities have stayed as Agatha Christie or the Prince Charles. The hotel has been continuously renovated, but retains its spectacular Canarian façade and balconies. It is the oldest hotel in the Canary Islands that is still in operation. You can find it in the Ciudad Jardín neighborhood, a few steps from the Marina and Triana.
