La Palmera Hotel Boutique

La Palmera Hotel Boutique is a small three-star boutique hotel at Calle Rafael Davila 12 in the Las Canteras area of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain. Playa de Las Canteras is the city's urban beach, a promenade of roughly three kilometres lined with cafes, seafood restaurants and surf schools, protected by the natural reef known as La Barra that keeps the water calm. Visitors can walk the length of the Paseo de Las Canteras on foot, and the Auditorio Alfredo Kraus sits at its northern end. The city's main bus hub at Santa Catalina and the Guaguas Municipales network connect the area to the old town of Vegueta and to the airport express service. Double rooms are listed. Its small scale gives a more personal feel than the larger beach hotels nearby. Dining around Las Canteras ranges from beachfront terraces serving grilled fish, papas arrugadas with mojo sauce and fresh seafood to inexpensive bakeries and tapas bars on the side streets. Breakfast is usually a simple continental spread or a coffee and tostada at a nearby cafe. Evening life centres on the promenade, which stays lively until late, especially at weekends. Its boutique format means fewer rooms and a more personal feel than the large chain hotels, which suits couples and independent travellers. Indicative rates of EUR 55 to EUR 105 per night suit couples who want a boutique atmosphere close to the sand. Las Palmas de Gran Canaria enjoys a mild climate throughout the year, with average daytime temperatures typically between roughly 21 and 28 degrees Celsius, so the city works as a destination in every season. Carnival in February and the winter months bring the highest demand, and booking in advance is sensible then. The airport on the east coast lies about 20 kilometres away and is reachable by express bus or taxi, and the property sits in the Spanish Canary Islands, where the currency is the euro.
