Located in the heart of Playa de las Américas, the H10 Las Palmeras is more than just a beachfront resort; it is a piece of Tenerife’s tourism history. Built in 1983, it was one of the very first hotels in the area, securing a prime location with direct access to the seaside promenade.
What makes it truly stand out today is its 2015 transformation. While many older resorts stick to traditional styles, H10 Las Palmeras underwent a bold renovation by the renowned Barcelona-based interior designer Lázaro Rosa-Violán. He reimagined the hotel with a "retro-modern" maritime theme that feels both nostalgic and high-end. The lobby is particularly striking, featuring vibrant, patterned Moroccan tiles and bright, airy common spaces that break away from the typical "mega-resort" aesthetic.
Beyond its design, the hotel is an oasis of greenery. It is famously surrounded by extensive subtropical gardens that make you feel miles away from the bustling city center just outside its gates.
Interesting Highlights:
- Gastronomy: It features a unique Sakura Teppanyaki restaurant where chefs cook on traditional grills right before your eyes.
- Privilege Service: For a "hotel within a hotel" feel, their Privilege service offers an exclusive lounge and a private terrace with a Jacuzzi overlooking the Atlantic.
- Active Leisure: It remains one of the few central hotels to maintain four full-sized tennis courts alongside its three swimming pools.
Whether you’re there for the retro-chic vibes or the lush gardens, it remains an iconic landmark of the Canary Islands.
