Pools and Spa

You can spend your afternoons soaking up the sun at the rooftop solarium, which features a small outdoor splash pool designed for a quick, refreshing dip. It’s an ideal spot for tranquil relaxation away from the bustling streets below. If you want to keep up with your fitness routine, the hotel offers a well-equipped gym. Please note that use of any spa or wellness treatments, if available at the time of your visit, may be subject to additional charges.

Beach

The famous Las Canteras Beach is within walking distance, located approximately 600 metres from your front door. This long stretch of golden sand is perfect for morning walks or swimming in the clear Atlantic waters. As this is a public beach, sun loungers and umbrellas are available at an extra charge from local providers.

Sport and Entertainment

The hotel is perfectly positioned for those who love to explore on foot. You are minutes away from high-end shopping at El Muelle and the cultural hub of Santa Catalina Park. After a day of sightseeing, the rooftop bar becomes the social heart of the hotel, offering a chic setting for quiet drinks and conversation under the stars. The surrounding area is also packed with local tapas bars and vibrant nightlife for you to discover.

Family Amenities

While this hotel primarily caters to adults and urban explorers, younger guests are welcome. Highchairs are available in the dining area, and baby cots can be provided in your room upon request to ensure a comfortable stay for the whole family.
