Hotel Santa Catalina

Las Palmas de Gran Canaria


This historic hotel is truly magnificent, with traditional Canarian balconies, showy turrets and a red-carpet-style arcaded entrance. The rooms won’t disappoint: there are king-size beds, antique bedheads, carpets and plush furnishings. It exudes the class of another era, with its piano bar, hammam (Turkish bath) and delightful views of either the sea or subtropical gardens.

At the time of research, the hotel was closed for refurbishment and was due to reopen in the middle of 2019.
