The Arona Gran Hotel - a touch of luxury in downtown Los Cristianos
The Arona Gran Hotel was built during the 1990s, at the time that I lived in Tenerife - I was able to witness its construction. Still looking relatively new, it provides luxurious accommodation at the far end of Los Cristianos, near the landmark Costamar tower.
The position of this hotel places it just outside the absolute centre of things. The area is comparatively quiet, yet within five minutes' walk, you can find bars and restaurants aplenty.
If you walk along the seafront from the hotel, you arrive in the centre of Los Cristianos very quickly.

On entering the Arona Gran, you are in the impressive lobby area - a huge cavernous space decorated tastefully in a modern style and adorned with many hanging plants. The lobby bar is situated there and, in the evenings, there is a pianist in residence, playing soft background music to accompany your drink.
