Taking its name from the nearby botanical gardens, the Hotel Botanico is no shrinking violet when it comes to floral displays of its own. 25,000 square metres of landscaped subtropical gardens surround this luxury hotel in the north of the island, in the exclusive residential area of La Paz, Puertode la Cruz.The hotel's location affords wonderful views on all sides - from the 252 luxuriously appointed guestrooms and suites are views of snow-capped Mount Teide, the lush Valle de la Oratava or over Puerto dela Cruz and the sea.Tennis courts and heated pools are there for your enjoyment, together with a fabulous new spa, the Oriental Spa Garden. Guests can enjoy a variety of treatments including an Ice Igloo, steam inhalation and much more!The temperate climate for which Tenerife is famed makes the Botanico particularly tempting for an off-season break, all the more so when you make the most of the opportunity to play golf. The hotel has its own putting green, and golf programmes incorporating rounds at local courses are available. With this emphasis on enjoyment and relaxation the Botanico's choice of fine dining does not disappoint - whether it be classical Italian cuisine, fresh grilled fare or the delicate flavours of the Orient in the fabulous Oriental restaurant.
