GRAN HOTEL TAORO
AN ICON REIMAGINED
Closed for half a century, Tenerife’s original grand
hotel returns to life after a meticulous €35 million
restoration.
Perched above the town in the lush Taoro
Park, the Gran Hotel Taoro is a striking
symbol of Tenerife’s past and future.
Originally opened in 1890 as Spain’s first
luxury grand hotel, this heritage-listed
landmark has welcomed an extraordinary
cast of guests, from King Alfonso XIII and
the Duke of Windsor to Agatha Christie and
Konrad Adenauer.
Now, after an extensive restoration, it
is ushering in a new era of elegance

for Puerto de la Cruz. The neoclassical
architecture and colonial design by French
architect Adolphe Coquet have been
meticulously preserved, while interiors
have been reimagined with contemporary
sophistication.
The result is a blend of heritage and
modern luxury across 199 rooms and
suites, each offering panoramic views of
the Atlantic Ocean, Mount Teide, or the
hotel’s manicured gardens.
