Hotel Monopol, Puerto de la Cruz

Surrounded by typical Canarian-style buildings and just a few minutes’ walk from the old town of Puerto de la Cruz, Hotel Monopol is situated in a pedestrianised area close to botanical gardens, the flower market and a number of picturesque squares and is an ideal base for exploring the city.

Originally established as a hotel in 1888, it has been owned and managed by the Gleixner family for more than 80 years, and boasts an air of traditional friendliness. The property offers modest accommodation filled with character and charm and there is a reception area, a relaxing glass roofed central courtyard filled with plants and palm trees, a restaurant and cocktail bar.

The glass walled rooftop pool area affords lovely views of the streets below and across the rooftops to the ocean, with Playa Jardin beach some 400m away.
