This boutique hotel is set in a building of notable architectural significance, with design elements by renowned architect Miguel Martín Fernández de la Torre.

Meanwhile, the rooftop bar provides a sophisticated space to enjoy a carefully curated selection of beverages against the backdrop of the nearby Cathedral of Santa Ana.
The suites are divided into two main categories: the Urban Suites and the Deluxe Suites, each offering its own charm. The Urban Suites are located at street level, perfect for those who appreciate the buzz of the cosmopolitan neighborhood. They include a loft-style option with a split-level design and another with accessibility features for those with mobility needs. On the higher floors, the Deluxe Suites come with access to traditional Canarian balconies, imparting a sense of local history and character.
This venue is ideal for travelers seeking a blend of culture and comfort, offering easy access to the city’s arts, gastronomy, and shopping scenes. Its proximity to museums and theaters makes it a great choice for culturally inclined visitors. Whether you’re staying for a weekend getaway or an extended visit, Hotel Suites 1478 provides a refined base for exploring Gran Canaria.
Reviews
I think that it is a bit of a push to describe this as 5 star. It is in a great location, the room was nice and clean and the hotel had some interesting decorations. However, as others have said, our room was noisy. The road below was loud so if you’re a light sleeper it would be difficult. Also, our hot water was a little temperamental. After I had a shower we had to wait 10 mins for it to warm up for my partner. Also, the breakfast had some nice parts, fresh bread, nice cheese. But the hot dishes weren’t that warm and one of the croissants we had was very stale. Lastly, but perhaps most importantly. Parking cost €15 euros per day, I’m not sure if I missed that on the ad, and after we checked out we wanted to have a coffee before we left and so asked if we could leave the car for an hour. The woman who served us told us no, because someone else was coming into the space. I was a little dubious about it because this was at 11am and as check-in isn’t until 3 I didn’t really believe that someone was coming into the space then. While there was a language barrier, I felt that she didn’t try to help us and just said no - she didn’t offer alternative solutions where we could park. I mention this because I see that there are a few complaints about the service. I should say that the woman who checked us and was there during the week was great - I would give her 5 stars. Unfortunately the staff there on the weekend did let down the team which is why I’m giving service a 3/5. Nothing was a huge deal on its own, but, as others have said, I don’t think this hotel can call itself 5 star and it’s a little pricey for what it is. I share this feedback because I do think all of this can be addressed (particularly the service) and it would be a really lovely hotel.
