Garachico: Hotel San Roque
The tourist board describes it as a restored 18th-century Canarian manor house in the historic centre of Garachico that blends contemporary art with traditional features. Its 20 rooms range from double and superior double to duplex, junior suites and suites, with whirlpool baths in the rooms. The heated pool, carved from volcanic lava, is kept at 27 °C all year; there is a free private sauna, a solarium with ocean views, free bicycle service and free public parking 30 m away. The address is Calle Esteban de Ponte, 32. For the town, see Garachico.
La Laguna: two historic addresses
Laguna Nivaria is housed in a 16th-century mansion at Plaza del Adelantado, in a historic centre that is a UNESCO World Heritage site. It lists five room types and a spa with a circuit, a gym and a restaurant serving food from its own organic farm; pets under 5 kg are accepted for 12 euros a day. Hotel Aguere has 22 rooms in a 17th-century building that was the residence of the Marquises of Torrehermosa and later of the Bishop of Tenerife; it has been a hotel since 1885. Both put you in a walkable old town; see La Laguna.
Santa Cruz: Hotel Taro
A boutique hotel in a quiet pedestrian area of the centre, with rooms that display work by Canarian artists and craftspeople and three suites with private pools. It is a city base for the Anaga mountains and the carnival: see Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
Puerto de la Cruz and the south
TUI BLUE Atlantic Hills is a converted 19th-century English country house in Taoro Park, with views of the Atlantic and Mount Teide. In Costa Adeje, the ADRIAN Hotel Colón Guanahaní describes itself as a small, cosy boutique hotel designed exclusively for adults; it has 145 double rooms, 6 suites and 3 superior suites.

Booking tips
Rates change by date and by room type, and the tourist board does not publish them, so compare dates in the Booking box on this page, which searches Garachico. Small hotels have few rooms: book early for carnival and for the Christmas period.
Mistakes to avoid
- Choosing a historic hotel for beach time: only some have a pool, and Garachico's bathing is in natural pools.
- Forgetting parking: old-town centres can be restricted; ask the hotel.
- Booking a boutique hotel with young children without checking the age policy.
- Assuming star ratings: the tourist board pages do not list stars for several of these hotels.
