The publication describes this establishment, situated in the southern part of the Island, as “an oasis of luxury and exclusivity in an unmatched setting.” “Wellness, gastronomy, and unique experiences” await guests at this exclusive hotel that Condé Nast Johansens characterises as a “paradise by the sea, featuring 19th-century Canarian-inspired architecture amidst lush tropical gardens.”
Charming courtyards leading to swimming pools, top-tier personalised service, and sophisticated interior design across various accommodations are additional benefits highlighted by the publication. It also mentions that the hotel offers rooms and suites within the colonial-style Casas Ducales estate, complete with a designated reception area, alongside a selection of private villas crafted from elegant volcanic stone within the exclusive Las Villas complex.

Situated just a 10-minute stroll from the serene Puerto de la Cruz, this establishment has recently undergone renovations that have revitalised the hotel, from its façade (now an elegant light grey and white) to new panoramic windows and a renovated reception area featuring an aquarium and a striking luminous installation made up of 1,800 “floating” crystals.
The surrounding subtropical gardens have also been enhanced with thoughtfully placed lighting and are accompanied by soothing bagpipe music. Additionally, the outdoor pool has been entirely refurbished, featuring a solarium area, new furniture, and showers with updated tiles. The hotel lake continues to thrive with koi carp, a testament to the volcanic drama that lies beyond the hotel’s borders.
