H2: Celebrity‑favourite hotel in Gran Canaria
The Santa Catalina sits a short walk from Las Palmas marina in Gran Canaria and occupies a grand 19th‑century building. Its high ceilings, chandeliers and neo‑classical touches give the hotel a classic, elegant atmosphere that has attracted high‑profile guests over the decades — most recently actor Jude Law while filming on the island.
H3: What makes it special
The property blends historic charm with modern comforts. Highlights include an exclusive rooftop bar and infinity pool, a garden‑side outdoor pool, and an indoor heated pool within the spa. Guests who book certain room categories — such as junior suites or specific packages — can gain access to the rooftop infinity pool and Alis rooftop bar.
H3: Spa, pools and leisure
The hotel’s wellness area features a heated pool, whirlpool and sauna alongside a menu of treatments from massages to body scrubs. Outdoors there’s a sun terrace with loungers and parasols, and an adjacent outdoor bar for light drinks and snacks. For active travellers, nearby tennis courts are available for a supplement.
H2: Dining options and entertainment
Poemas Restaurant serves à la carte gourmet dishes, while the hotel’s main buffet restaurant offers live show‑cooking and a so‑called ‘Royal Breakfast’. For lighter bites, guests can head to the Camarote snack bar or the Carabela bar. The hotel also stages live piano music most weeknights and a singer on Sundays, giving evenings a relaxed, refined vibe.
H3: Rooms and booking details
Rooms range from neo‑classical deluxe doubles to larger suites with separate living areas and luxury bathrooms. Packages are typically offered on bed‑and‑breakfast or half‑board bases. The Santa Catalina is listed on TUI, which runs flight‑plus‑hotel packages from the UK; availability and prices vary by season.
H2: Explore beyond the hotel
Las Palmas and the rest of Gran Canaria offer varied scenery — from sandy beaches and bustling city quarters to volcanic interior landscapes and scenic hiking routes. The island’s microclimates mean you can find sun, mountains and green valleys in a short drive.
H4: Is it right for you?
If you’re after a hotel with a historic feel, celebrity pedigree and a central base for exploring northern Gran Canaria, The Santa Catalina is a strong option. Book a room category that includes rooftop access if the infinity pool and skyline views are priorities.
