AC Hotel Gran Canaria

The AC Hotel Gran Canaria Las Palmas is clearly visible when you enter the city of Las Palmas. You can’t help but notice this high tower with its similar characteristics to Italy’s Tower of Pisa.

But without the lean! This very tall cylindrical building is known as the AC Hotel Gran Canaria by Marriott.

From the very start of your vacation, staying at the AC Hotel could not be easier. There are currently only two AC Hotels in Las Palmas city. If you are arriving by plane, you are entitled to travel in the free shuttle bus directly to the hotel.

The AC is located literally on the side of the Santa Catalina park and opposite the El Muelle shopping centre. It is a 2 minute walk to the Santa Catalina bus terminal. With only a 5-minute walk to Playa de las Canteras the hotel is a great base to get around the city either on foot or by public transport.

Best place to enjoy a delicious breakfast, lunch, or dinner while indulging a panoramic view or sipping on a refreshing drink.Excellent service and the soothing melodies of live jazz every first Thursday of the month.

I was 2 days in that hotel. View from room is amazing! Dinner and breakfast served like buffet (good taste and everybody can choose something for himself). Lunch from card (also tasty). Room are big and comfortable with fridge, TV. Located close to beach. Have swimming pool on roof, gym on 24rh floor and restaurant on 23rd floor with very nice view. People friendly and speak English. Prices are good. Only small problem with WiFi (from time to time lost signal) but when is working it is fast and in each room. Very good place to stay in Las Palmas.

The hotel is in a high tower. When you have luck you get a room in a higher stage. From there you have a great view.But in some parts the hotel looked a bit like the renovation was cheap.The location is nice.Rooms are okay and seems clean.4 stars in Spain are not 4 stars in Germany.

Terrific service! Always pleasantly greeted and given an upgrade to spectacular views. Very conveniently located ...just a few min walk to the beach, restaurants and shops.

Nice hotel close to town center. Rooms a little out dated for this time, but very clean and well look after.Top bar also has a restaurant and while dinning a group of drinkers can spoil the romantic fun.

Staff excellent. Liked the hotel location, but a few problems. Breakfast - hot plates for bacon etc were cold so food cold. Short on hot water for teas. Breakfast ends at 1030 prompt and the food is removed almost immediately. Also, swimming pool is on the roof. The lifts stop at floor 23 then there are 52 stairs to negotiate, so not really properly accessible.

Rooms are small. the wifi connection is poor. Glass door to the bathroom with no lock or privacy. No stools or table on the balcony and noise between Rooms and hallway. But the staff is helpful and nice Rooms are clean. 55" TV good beds. Perfect for a short business trip not vacation

Overall experience was ok but considering the price we were not amazed.We stayed for a week in the middle of january.The location was the best thing! We walked everywhere. Beach, restaurants, nearest good shopping centre (2,4km) were all in a walking distance.When we arrived almost all the corners and the edges of the wall in our room were full of dirt and dust. Air conditioning was not the best. Noises from outside were really loud. The bathroom kept all the humidity inside it and therefore there were cracks in the ceiling. Also the wallpaper in the bathroom had nasty stains on it. Toilet seat was so close to the wall so that if you are a little taller, you don’t fit to sit on the toilet properly. Bedsheets were fresh.The room did not have bathrobes or a flat iron which we would’ve liked to have.The pool area was quite small and the pool is not heated ( we visited in january). Also the ”grass” in the pool area was full on dirt.We did not eat breakfast at hotel because the price (18€/person) seemed unreasonable. We ate dinner at the hotel once and that was a 2/5 experience. The restaurant was cozy but the menu was really limited and the food was not tasty in our opinion.Restaurant staff seemed to be in a hurry (although there were not much people) and were not that polite.All the other staff (cleaners and reception) were polite and made us feel comfortable.

This isn't marriott worthy anymore. Hotel and room's are outdated, maintenance is lacking, Breakfast is very minimal. Only hot food are omelette's and sausage's. Often boiled eggs and orange jus aren't restocked or unavailable.

Love the shape of this building, certainly stands out from the crowd. Perfectly positioned near the cruise port and lots of shops. A lot bigger version of the strathallen hotel in Birmingham but a lot better views and a lot warmer weather👍🇪🇸

Iconic hotel with good location close to the beach. Rooms worn and old, smelling with sewage and mold. Breakfast porely organised, when crouded everything runs out and the staff can't keep up.

I have been traveling for years, and mostly rented B&B s, but this year my boyfriend wanted to go fancy .Unfortunately, this expensive hotel left me with a rash and a bad itchiness.There's cockroaches in the toilet and room. Last night we have found one in bed and couldn't sleep all night .Also, there's no extractor or ways to dry the bathroom after showering hence the humidity attracts the bugs on a month like December.Food is expensive, but at least tue staff is nice .I would not recommend it .

Technically not a review as I have not stayed. But I was struck by the fact that breakfast for 7 nights was an additional 400 euros

An old hotel in the center of the city, I think it has recently been renovated because I see some new stuff inside. It has comfortable rooms, a nice buffet breakfast on the top floor overlooking the whole of Las Palmas port and a 24 hour room service. The view from the rooms can be breathtaking if you are high enough and on the correct side of the building.

Wonderful hotel, next to the port, the center of the town and las canteras beach, not far from the historical centre 🏖️ wonderful location! Big, comfortable, clean room with super view! Great breakfast and delightful lunch or dinner in a cozy restaurant with fantastic views! Two parking places in walking distance. I truly recommend it ❤️

AC didn’t work. There were mosquitoes in the room. The bathroom had a sewer smell. Good location to visit the historic Center of the city, but too far away of the city beach and other touristic places.

As is inherent in any tall skinny round tower building, you're pretty defined by - and limited by - the architecture. This hotel is no exception to this rule.Worse, it's location, which does lead to some great views of the mall and the harbor past the mall, is sandwiched between two narrow one way streets. It feels decidedly unwelcoming.That said the staff are great and it's very very affordable.

Nice hotel, nice rooms with plenty of space for the bed table and chairs. Fridge, coffee machine with complimentary water and coffee daily.Lovely views from the restaurant, rooftop pool and gym.The breakfast was excellent.Only a 5 minute walk to the restaurants and seafront. I would definitely stay again.

5 Stars all around! What a great hotel to stay in. The room provided was as reserved, very spacious and cozy. Bed was very comfortable, admin processes were very quick. Staff super friendly and helpful. The beach and other waterfront related activities are walking distance. There is a big mall across the street as well and a bus stop in case you want to right further for anything in particular...would definitely stay here again!

Very good Marriott brand Hotel. The staff at the front desk were really helpful and friendly. I got recognize as a titanium member and got a room upgrade which was very nice. A suite with a nice view. Service is perfect, location is convenient.The restaurant is a bit weird tho, i wanted to drink a cocktail but every day, they said " no cocktails tonight"

Good hotel, with very comfortable rooms. Nice staff.Breakfast is ok, but I think it is expensive for what you get. I think it is €18, and is a cold buffet.

Nice view but a bit worn down for a marriott owned property. The shower was lukewarm at best... For almost 400 euro a night i expect better guys...

Great views from the upper floors (extra cost but worth it). Rooms a bit small but somehow understandable given the shape of the building. Friendly staff, clean rooms, decent breakfast.They could add some channels in English on the TV (why RT and not CNN?).

The stay was fantastic. This is a very central location in Las Palmas, and the hotel is very noticeable from many different points in the city, so it's easy to find your way back without a map. I recommend paying a little extra for the morning breakfast, where you can enjoy a panoramic view of the city early in the morning. The concierges were also very helpful, speaking fluent English and helping us order bus passes, taxis, excursion tours into the mountains, among other things. Overall, an excellent stay and we would love to return in the future!

Facilities within the AC Hotel Gran Canaria Las Palmas

The views from the rooms on the 13th floor and above are spectacular. The best panoramas can be admired from the three top floors, which are the 19th, 20th and 21st. On the roof top of the AC Hotel Gran Canaria is a circular swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers and umbrellas. This makes it the highest swimming pool in the city. One floor down is the highest suite bar and restaurant, with views not suitable for people with vertigo. Even the fitness studio has breathtaking views.

The accommodation at the AC Hotel are fairly spacious, well dressed and come with all the common amenities. In each room you will find a mini-bar, flat screen TV, safe, desk and chair, telephones and a private balcony boasting great views over the city.

The hotel has stylish wooden flooring throughout, and they also have a pillow menu allowing you choose what type of pillow you want for your stay. The 24 hours room service will make your stay complete.

Seven different meeting rooms make this hotel ideal for a wide variety of events from small business seminars to big wedding banquettes.

WI-FI is available in all public areas of the hotel, in the room it comes with a daily fee. Private parking is available at a nearby location also at an additional charge.

This is a really nice hotel. It is central to the city and suits all social and travel needs. I have stayed here many times mainly because I like the views and secondly for its central location. The restaurant serves a rather complete buffet breakfast daily which gives you plenty of energy for a day out in the city. Lots of great bars and cafés just outside in the Santa Catalina park or on the Las Canteras beach front provide you with an alternative to eating in the hotel.
