Hotel Taburiente Tenerife Review | Hotels Above Par
"Tucked alongside Parque García Sanabria in the heart of Santa Cruz, this polished four-star property—first opened in 1966 and recently reimagined—blends timeless Mediterranean and Art Deco influences with contemporary touches. Interiors feature marble floors, gold accents, plush velvet furnishings and integrated art (from Japanese-inspired prints in reception to large surrealist works in the velvet salon), while a playful indoor-outdoor thread runs through the glass-walled lobby terrace (complete with a full-sized tree), a rooftop faux lawn and a fourth-floor wellness lounge that opens onto a private veranda. Its 165 rooms range from minimalist city-view doubles to expansive suites with standalone bathtubs, private terraces and indoor/outdoor seating; deluxe rooms offer balconies overlooking the park, city skyline or a colonial-style courtyard, and details like leather headboards and full-size monstera plants lend a cozy, refined feel. Dining centers on Cayote, where Canarian dishes are reimagined with Latin and Asian flair using over 100 ingredients prepared in-house and an emphasis on local producers; a café and lobby bar provide casual fare (homemade cookies, a full espresso bar, burgers and fries) with in-room and rooftop delivery. Amenities include a rooftop pool and jacuzzi framing the mountains and Atlantic, a panoramic lawn patio with sun loungers, a rooftop fitness center, three lounges, a wellness space with hanging rattan chairs and a 24/7 drinks station, plus practical services such as on-site parking, laundry and 24/7 room service. Ideally located steps from La Rambla and Parque García Sanabria and within easy walking distance of Calle Castillo, Plaza España and the Mercado Nuestra Señora de África, the property is about 20 minutes by bus from Las Teresitas beach and provides good access for day trips to Anaga Rural Park; pricing starts at roughly $100 per night, and the rooftop suites with panoramic terraces are a standout feature."
