Concorde Hotel Gran Canaria is situated on a busy city block, just around the corner from the beach. This 128-room, two-and-a-half-pearl option won’t win any style awards, but its facilities make it a good value for the price. Features include a rooftop pool and a colonial-style restaurant with panoramic sea views. Breakfast is free, and half- and full-board meal plans are available. There’s also a cozy bar, TV lounge, and meeting rooms for business guests. Rooms are clean and have free Wi-Fi, air-conditioning, minibar, and air-conditioning -- but there are no balconies or sea views, and they are dated. For a hotel right on the beach with sea views and more modern decor, try the NH Imperial Playa instead, though it lacks a pool.

With a dedicated conference floor and four meeting rooms, the 102-room Hotel Parque is a great mid-range option for business travelers. It’s across the street from San Telmo Park in the Vegueta district, a bit far from the beach, but it's well situated for exploring via its extensive, cheap bus routes. Rooms are simple, but clean, with modern bedding, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi -- some have balconies or sea views. The top floor restaurant serves a decent free breakfast buffet and has park and sea views, while the cafe downstairs makes a gorgeous chocolate cake. There’s free reliable Wi-Fi throughout, but no parking. For a property that's closer to the beach with a pool, try Concorde Hotel -- but business facilities are limited and the hotel is tired in some areas.

Housed in one of Las Palmas’ most iconic buildings, the 202-room Santa Catalina is an upscale property full of classic charm. It may not be as luxurious as it used to be and rooms feel a tad spartan to some, but few hotels in Gran Canaria are as stately as this. There is a relaxing pool, a spa, and a gym, but the standouts here are the restaurants, including acclaimed La Terraza and Los Patios, which serves a wonderful free breakfast in a cute courtyard. It is a quiet hotel a 15-minute walk from the beach and the marina, so those traveling with kids may want to look elsewhere.

Three-and-a-half-pearl NH Imperial Playa is a relaxed beachside hotel frequented by business and leisure guests. Its prime bayside location means you'll get spectacular sea views from many spots within the hotel. Rooms are pleasant, if bland, and have air-conditioning, comfortable beds, minibars, and free Wi-Fi. Upper-category units might be worth the splurge for their gorgeous views over the bay. There’s a dedicated conference floor with four meeting rooms, and the cheerful restaurant has sea views and a standout breakfast buffet that includes freshly blended smoothies, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and cooked-to-order options. Wi-Fi is free throughout the hotel, and there’s discounted parking at a nearby garage. For a city hotel with more extensive business facilities, try Hotel Parque, though it’s farther from the beach.

This three-pearl AC Hotel outpost in the center of Gran Canaria’s capital is a solid option for modern facilities. Its 281 modern rooms include free minibars and Wi-Fi, and several come with pleasant ocean views. On-site amenities include a lounge bar, a small gym, free airport transportation, and a rooftop pool with a solarium, though extra charges apply for the buffet breakfast. While the hotel is a 15- to 20-minute walk to Las Palmas’ Old Town, beaches aren’t within walking distance, and guests have noted that the property’s location is more suited to business travelers than vacationing visitors. For a hotel in a more tourist-friendly area, the AC Hotel by Marriott Gran Canaria is a six-minute walk from Las Palmas’s main beach.

The low-key, 67-room NH Las Palmas Playa de las Canteras is a basic mid-range option that may lack facilities, but is well-kept and has fresh, modern interiors as of our 2017 visit. It’s just a one-minute walk to the beach, but is still far enough away to ensure peace and quiet. Rooms are clean and contemporary, and all have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, minibars, free safes, and free Wi-Fi. Some have balconies, but there are no sea views. There’s no bar or restaurant, but the cheery restaurant at the sister hotel around the corner has spectacular sea views and serves an excellent breakfast buffet. For another city hotel that adds a restaurant and bar, try Hotel Verol, which is generally cheaper, but farther from the beach and more dated.

The upper-middle-range AC Hotel Gran Canaria by Marriott is a business-oriented property situated by the waterfront and within walking distance of Triana's dining and shopping options. The hotel offers pleasant, if bland and chainlike, interiors and 227 contemporary guest rooms with private balconies. Junior Suites and Suites have added perks like Nespresso machines and living areas. Public areas include a pleasant lounge that serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner with views over the city. There's also a rooftop pool with panoramic vistas, as well as a fitness center. Seven meeting rooms cater to the corporate crowd, and a free airport shuttle is a welcome perk.

Hotel Verol -- a pragmatic, no-frills option -- is a city hotel that's just a one-minute walk from the beach. The decor is basic and dated, but the clean, comfortable rooms make this a relatively pleasant value option. All 46 rooms have air-conditioning, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi -- but no balconies. The restaurant is convenient for quick bites and serves a cheap breakfast with hot options, along with Galician-influenced lunches and dinners. There’s even a sidewalk terrace that's great for people watching, and a TV lounge with computer stations. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and discounted parking is available. For another budget option with more stylish character, try Guesthouse Katanka -- but it’s farther from the beach, and not all rooms have en-suite bathrooms.

Reina Isabel Hotel is a 225-room three-pearl option with direct beach access and beautiful sea views. With free access to great facilities such as the heated rooftop pool, well-kept spa, and sun loungers on the beach, this hotel has a lot of advantages. However, things are looking a little tired. The classic rooms all have balconies, air-conditioning, free fresh fruit and bottled water, flat-screen TVs, and free Wi-Fi. There are two bars and two restaurants, including a poolside bar and rooftop a la carte restaurant -- both with panoramic sea views. The breakfast buffet is a vast spread of options, and half-board plans are available. For a cheaper option with an indoor pool, try Santa Catalina, but the spa isn't free and it’s not on the beach.

Hotel Bed&Chic Las Palmas is a charming three-and-a-half-pearl, design-oriented boutique property on Santa Catalina Park, a six-minute walk from the beach. While it’s a well-maintained property with boho style, small touches like comfortable lounging spots and homey furnishings convert potentially impersonal public spaces into areas with lots of cozy charm. All 23 rooms have a playful vintage feel and come with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Some have balconies, kitchenettes, or sea views. The sunny rooftop bar is a guest favorite, while the trendy gastro-bar serves a good breakfast and is great for watching local life. For a hotel right on the beach instead, try NH Imperial Playa. It has stunning sea views, but prepare to lose the personalized touch found at Bed&Chic.
