There are no gay hotels in Las Palmas de Gran Canaria; the gay-only and clothing-optional resorts are all in the south around Playa del Inglés and Maspalomas. In the capital, ordinary city and beach hotels are the norm, and in Spain a same-sex couple checking in is unremarkable.
Where to stay
Las Canteras and Santa Catalina are the obvious base. The city's three gay bars (Instinto, Distinto and Velvet 79) and Sauna Portugal are all within about a kilometre of the beach, and the Pride march ends in Parque de Santa Catalina. Hotels here range from hostels popular with surfers to large seafront hotels. Guanarteme, at the western end of the beach, is a little quieter and closer to the sauna.
Vegueta and Triana, the old town and the shopping district, have small boutique hotels in restored buildings. They suit a city break, but you will need a bus or taxi (about 15 minutes) to reach the bars.
The port area around Calle Juan Rejón and La Naval, on the La Isleta side, has good-value hotels a short walk from the north end of Las Canteras.
Booking notes
Las Palmas is busy during Carnival in February and around late June for Pride and the start of summer, but it never fills the way Maspalomas does during its Pride in May or Winter Pride in November. If you want both city and resort, split your stay: the Global bus connects the two in about an hour. Browse the hotels on this page for locations and current prices.
