In just a few days I’ll be exploring the reopened Gran Hotel Taoro in Puerto de la Cruz, Tenerife, and I can't wait to see it for myself✨

Gran Hotel Taoro, a true icon of Spanish hospitality, first opened in 1890 as Spain’s first grand luxury hotel. Today, after an extraordinary restoration, it shines once again, honouring its neoclassical heritage while offering refined dining and contemporary comfort throughout.

Perched on a hillside above Puerto de la Cruz, Gran Hotel Taoro boasts sweeping views of Mount Teide and the Atlantic Ocean. The hotel’s privileged setting makes it a great base from which to discover the authentic charm of northern Tenerife, from volcanic landscapes and lush forests to vineyards and historic towns 🌊

I’ll be sharing my honest impressions, insider touches and plenty of photos so you can get a real feel for whether it might be the right escape for you. If Tenerife is calling, get in touch and I’ll help you start planning.
