    ABOUT THE HOTEL

    • Official Rating
    • Free Wi-Fi

    Sir Winston Churchill and the Spanish royal family are among the famous faces that have stayed at the stately Santa Catalina, a Royal Hideaway Hotel.

    The Santa Catalina looks like a film set for a period drama. Built in the late 19th century, it has a grand, colonial design, with high ceilings and chandeliers. It's had a bit of a freshen-up for the end of 2019, so you can expect Fairy-clean facilities.

    Take a five-minute stroll through the hotel’s gardens and you’ll arrive at Las Palmas' marina. There’s also a bus stop right outside the property, with regular services to the old town.

    Wonderful Stay in Historical Hotel

    Beautiful Hotel in a lovely Garden setting. We really enjoyed our stay in an historical hotel, Rooms great Bed Fantastic. Mirror TVs quality. Las Palmas is a charming City, Fresh market is well worth a visit..
    Barcelo did excellent job and the old jewel is shining again

    We arrived in January 2020. Soon after grand opening in November 2019. The rooms still smell new furniture. We experienced indulgence and relaxation during our stay at Santa Catalina. We stayed at junior suit after the recommendations on the website. Hotel is an oasis of elegancy and luxury. It is so sophisticated, comfortable and peaceful. In the evenings glamorous crowd is populating the piano bar, the restaurants. You see al of high heels and suits We will name just some highlights: The stuff is very helpful and observant. Three pools and wellness keeps one busy all day. High tech in rooms provides super wifi and mirror TV in the gold frame. The art and the heritage in the public rooms build the atmosphere you won´t forget. The gastro pub with an excellent wine list! There you can order Alion or Can if you feel like it. Even the budget wines are of super quality. Security is tight but almost invisible – with clever solutions like drawbridges and water canals. The website is great with tons of info. The breakfast is very good. And the most important: the beds and pillows. We slept ten hours in a row some nights. Surroundings Jardin district is green and quiet. Police Headquarters, government buildings and residential area with nice parks are surrounding the hotel area. It is a peaceful district with no commerce, noisy bars or “decadent nightclubs”. No bar hopping with other words. Well it is 15 minutes bus trip to Canteras or 10 minutes to Triana if you want some action.. But why not to stay and enjoy the eminent hotel with all the facilites. Just enjoy this historical place anno 1890. It is impressive that Barcelo made such improvements in a year time. The hotel is a huge investment for Barcelo, good affair for the city that gets well paid for the lease. The winners so far are the guests and citizens of Las Palmas. Or what a hideaway indeed!
    Fantastic stay in the most beautiful hotel of Las Palmas

    A royal hideaway it is! A beautiful location in a park in Las Palmas with excellent service and comfort. The staff made you feel welcome and comfortable. Even the standard rooms are a joy to stay in. Bed and shower are amazing.
    A taste of Paradise
    21 Jan , 2020 John M, 186338
    Santa Catalina is a truly exceptional hotel. We stayed for two weeks and enjoyed the magnificent comfort and delightful surroundings. The success of this establishment is due to the very professional, polite, cheerful team who manage it all to perfection. Our room was so cosy with a fantastic shower room with every amenity. Beautifully clean. Breakfast is a feast for the eyes and the taste buds. Our very special thanks to all the breakfast room staff but, in particular, to Marita, Begonia and Maurice. The swimming pool and the Spa are wonderful. It was difficult to leave. Our sincere thanks to everyone at La Santa Catalina. The renovations are superb!
    Wonderful refurbished iconic hotel in Las Palmas

    What a wonderful 6* experience. Exceptional friendly staff who went out of their way to ensure we had personalised attention, always willing to help The renovations are breathtaking with a mix of traditional and modern decor staying true to its cultural origins I would particularly like to express my gratitude to Manuel Fresno who knowledge and expertise shone through and nothing was too much trouble for him. He treated all guests as individuals and his attention to detail has to be admired. Highly recommend this hotel and look forward to coming back soon
