Parador de Cruz de Tejeda

The interior of this luxurious, state-run hotel matches low-key sophistication with a muted earth-colour palette, accentuated by tasteful artwork and framed by truly outstanding views of the surrounding gorges and cliffs. There is a luxurious spa to enjoy after your daily hikes; the staff can provide detailed maps for these. There's also a good restaurant here serving upmarket Canarian cuisine.
