Arrecife Gran Hotel: "Not so New!" Isla de Lanzarote Hotel Tip by mazzap

This hotel is certainly a landmark - it is the only thing you will see this high on the whole of Lanzarote - it somehow escaped the 'no tall buildings' rule! It is easily visible from so many locations because of it's untypical tall appearance.

Since I first visited Lanzarote 14 years ago, this building has been a derelict 'wreck'. It appeared to have suffered a major fire (though I am not sure if this is what really happened) & it was a real eye-sore for years. Now it is a beautiful, all glass, shining 5* City centre hotel right by a lovely town beach!

We took a look around the interior during our visit in April 2006 - I actually thought the lobby was disappointingly unimpressive but the brochure shows rooms that look to be ultra modern & luxurious. Reviews I have read on websites since then confirm this to be the general opinion of those who have stayed there!

Apparently the cost if booked in advance is fairly reasonable for a 5* hotel. I would love to stay here if I was visiting for a short break maybe ;-))
