4-star hotel in Playa de Las Canteras, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, at Calle Eduardo Benot 3-5. Marriott group hotel one block from Las Canteras beach.
AC Hotel Gran Canaria by Marriott is a 4-star hotel at Calle Eduardo Benot 3-5 in the Playa de Las Canteras district of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. Listings place it about one block from Las Canteras, the city's long urban beach, which makes it one of the more convenient Marriott-group options for guests who want to walk to the sand, the seafront promenade and the restaurants of the Santa Catalina area. The AC Hotels brand is Marriott's design-led, Spanish-founded line, typically known for clean, contemporary rooms, a compact lobby bar and a straightforward business-friendly service style, and visitors can expect the same general approach here without the formality of a traditional luxury resort. Room types listed are double rooms, twin rooms and suites, so the property suits couples, friends sharing a twin, and small families who step up to a suite. Indicative rates run from about EUR 100 to 190 (about USD 115-218) per night depending on season and demand, with the higher end typical of winter weekends and holiday periods when the Canaries draw visitors from northern Europe. The location is practical for both leisure and work trips: the port, the Santa Catalina pedestrian area and the beach are all reachable on foot, while the historic quarter of Vegueta and the Triana shopping streets are reachable by bus or taxi in around fifteen to twenty minutes. Gran Canaria's international airport lies roughly a 25 to 30 minute drive away. For meals, guests typically combine the hotel's own breakfast offer, where available, with the many cafes, tapas bars and seafood restaurants along Las Canteras and around Parque Santa Catalina. The hotel does not market itself as a resort with extensive pools or spa facilities, so it works best as a well-located base for exploring the city and beach rather than a self-contained holiday destination. Marriott Bonvoy members may be able to earn or redeem points. Guests should confirm breakfast, parking and fitness facilities directly with the property.
