21/07/2022 Por Local Guide Gran Canaria Leave a Comment

In this article we want to share with you everything we know about hotels in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria. As we told you in our post about the best places to stay in Gran Canaria, the capital is one of them. In fact, we always recommend at least one night in the city to experience its most local side. Within the center, the best area to stay in Las Palmas if your visit is cultural, is Vegueta.

On the other hand, if you want to be by the sea or the beach and, at the same time, next to the cools areas and nightlife, without a doubt the best option is to look for a hotel near Las Canteras. Below we will list 10 hotels in the city for you to choose the one that best suits your tastes, preferences and budget. By the way, in the video at the end we give you more details about some of them. Let’s go!

Hotels in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Once again Las Palmas de Gran Canaria has regained prominence as a tourist destination within the island of Gran Canaria. 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.

✔ Hoteles in Vegueta & Triana

1. Suites 1478 hotel, hotels in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Suites 1478 is one of the few hotels in Vegueta old town. 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! 🙂

We show it in the following picture.

The hotel has been continually renovated, but retains its spectacular Canarian façade and balconies. We can say that today it is one of the best hotels in Gran Canaria and also one of the best hotels with a swimming pool in the city.
