With a privileged location in the illustrious neighbourhood of Ciudad Jardín, set inside the lush Doramas Park and close to Playa de las Canteras, each corner of its interior oozes inspiration. In addition to its original British style, there are works of art, murals and canvases dating back to the 19th century. The elegant and welcoming décor and design of its rooms can only be eclipsed by the beauty of its surroundings on the shores of the Atlantic. The building is part of the Architectural and Cultural Heritage of the Canarian capital, being one of the most significant examples of the regionalist architecture of the twentieth 20th century.
More than a century after its inauguration, this 5-star hotel in Gran Canaria is still the cultural epicentre of the island, just as it was during the splendid 50s and 60s.
