Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel  

In the heart of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, beside leafy Doramas Park and a short stroll from Playa de las Alcaravaneras and Las Canteras Beach. This late-19th-century colonial landmark sits where city history meets ocean air.

The hotel blends historic colonial bones with elegant, contemporary touches. 204 guestrooms offer garden or sea views, minibars, flat-screen TVs, laptop-compatible safes, ceiling fans and bathrobes and slippers in many rooms. Public spaces celebrate local tradition for an authentic, distinctive atmosphere.

Take advantage of an outdoor pool, a health club/fitness center, spa facilities, sauna and massage room. Three restaurants, a cafe and three bars — including a poolside bar — keep things lively. Concierge, wedding services, a tour desk and transfer assistance are all on hand. Wake up to garden- or sea-breeze mornings.

A conference center with six meeting rooms, 24-hour front desk, dry cleaning and laundry, multilingual staff and self-parking (fees apply). Complimentary wireless internet is available throughout the property.

Home to Muxgo by Borja Marrero plus two other restaurants, a cafe and three bars. Buffet breakfasts are served weekdays 7:00–10:30 and weekends 7:30–11:00 (fee). 24-hour room service and local cuisine options round out the food scene.
