Why sleep in San Cristóbal de La Laguna?

OUR TIPS TO RENT A CAR IN Tenerife
- Compare prices on our preferred platform: DiscoverCars – one of the best rated sites.
- If you’re planning to explore the mountains, don ‘t take the smallest cars. A more powerful engine will be more comfortable.
- But don’t take too big a car either, as some roads are narrow.
- There’s a lot of demand and it’s an island, so book early.
1. La Laguna Gran Hotel (4 stars)
Why stay there?
Staying at the La Laguna Gran Hotel in San Cristóbal de La Laguna is the ideal way to discover the city’s historic center. It’s right on the edge of the old town. We really appreciated the easy access to iconic sites and the opportunity for pleasant strolls through the narrow streets.
In fact, the hotel is in part a historic establishment, its main building being a vast 18th-century colonial house that has been complemented by a contemporary extension. The combination of old-world charm and modern comforts is, in our opinion, the hotel’s greatest asset. Finally, the elegant decor creates a luxurious, soothing atmosphere.

The atmosphere is warm and friendly. We liked the Italian feel of the Canary Islands, even if the wood panelling and interior patio are typically Canarian. A special mention goes to the balconies and south-facing terrace, with breathtaking views of the mountains and ocean.
