Santa Catalina, A Royal Hideaway Hotel

Located at the tip of the island, in the famous Las Palmas De Gran Canaria, the island’s capital, Hotel Santa Catalina is the perfect destination for visitors in search of the perfect mix of city and beach for their vacation. The hotel is situated in the centre of the Parque Doramas, an iconic park in the city surrounded by palm trees, which is also conveniently close to the main promenade. Just a few metres away, guests will have access to the main strip of restaurants, bars and clubs overlooking the ocean. If you want sea views and lush greenery, all within easy reach of the capital’s liveliest spots, we highly recommend the 5-star luxury Hotel Santa Catalina. Hotel Santa Catalina dates back to 1890 and since its opening has attracted some of the most famous names in history. Everyone from Winston Churchill and members of the Royal Family to opera singer María Callas and 1950s film star Gregory Peck has graced the hotel with their presence, and with its uniquely beautiful setting, it’s also a chosen location for weddings, honeymoons and high profile events. On site, guests will have full access to the Spa Center Aqua Vital with heated indoor swimming pool, tall and underwater jets, pressure jets, Jacuzzis, saunas and Turkish baths.
