Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel

For over a century, the 5-star Grand Luxury Hotel, Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, has been part of Gran Canaria's history and is the archipelago's oldest hotel. Since 1890, it has hosted the most significant figures of the 20th and 21st centuries. In 2019, following its acquisition by the Barceló Group, the luxury hotel underwent extensive renovations and now shines in new splendour while preserving its historic ambiance. Located in the prestigious Ciudad Jardín district, amidst the lush Doramas Park and near Las Canteras Beach, its interior inspires at every turn. The original British style is complemented by 19th-century artworks, murals, and paintings, along with elegant and welcoming decor. A lush garden landscape with Canary flora completes the dreamy ambiance, creating the perfect setting for your luxurious relaxation holiday.

The culinary offerings at the hotel delight with dishes that blend local traditions with international recipes, ranging from haute cuisine to Canarian dishes and signature cocktails served with the best sea view. The Michelin-starred 'Poemas by Hermanos Padrón' impresses with its local and cosmopolitan cuisine, distinguished by a preference for seafood. At 'MuXgo', expect environmentally friendly cuisine featuring many local products. Additionally, '1890 La Bodeguita' captivates with its tapas dishes.
