The AC is your classic business hotel: anonymous, minimalist and functional. It's part of a chain that raves about its new hotels in Milan or wherever in its own magazine and publishes non-sequitor interviews with the likes of Jodie Foster. It's low on character, high
on convenience, the staff wear black and don't smile much.
None of these are negatives. This is a solid place to stay. It's the tallest building in Las Palmas and almost all rooms above, say, the fifth floor will have an excellent view (see photos).
The rooftop pool (possibly the biggest selling point) was closed and the gym was a bit odd but none of this was particularly irritating, really. The AC is OK, just OK.
Breakfast (extra cost for us) was a decent spread if you got there early enough, though staff weren't exactly forthcoming with the coffee
refills.
Location could be a blessing or a curse. Up at the top end of town, it's absolutely perfect for WOMAD Canarias if you happen to be in town
for that (as we were) - it overlooks the venue. For shopping, the
big Mesa y Lopez street is a 15-20 minute walk. Las Canteras beach is a steady 10 minutes.
For culture and history fans, the location isn't anywhere near Las Palmas' old town districts - La Vegueta and Triana - so you'll need to catch a very reasonably-priced, sweaty cab down there. The city doesn't make a big deal about them, but they're quiet areas filled with really lovely colonial architecture. Indeed, Christopher Columbus
started his whole 1492 thing from here.
