Close to the harbour town of Puerto de la Cruz in the north of Tenerife we find in luxuriously relaxing and tranquil surroundings, an ambience of the highest standard, the Hotel Botánica.

Here the ambience has been modelled on an exotic orient. A large lake with Japanese Koi carp, two majestic black swans, fountains and numerous water-lilies have been successfully integrated into the flowering landscape. A simple wooden bridge becomes an invitation to explore more of this romantic lake.

The Hotel Botánica is a special category hotel which welcomes its guests in exclusive surroundings. Already the wild - romantic grounds of the hotel pay honour to the famous botanical gardens which are situated just opposite the hotel.

Regardless wherever one finds oneself in the Hotel Botánica - the flair of the far-east is always apparent.  Two figures representing Buddhist gods stand watch over the entrance to the Oriental Spa Garden.

Massive cobalt-blue porcelain vases frame the edge of the small water-lily and bamboo pond in front of the covered terrace of the hotel leading down into the garden which is completely overgrown with ferns.

Water is the elixir of life. For this reason, in the layout of The Oriental Spa Garden water plays a major role. The  generously sized terrace and extremely luxurious Spa area offer room in plenty for pleasant relaxation. Placed around the pool are comfortable sun-loungers  that beckon invitingly to simply lie back and relax. On integrated water-beds one can enjoy the benefits of a gentle hydro-massage.

On request one can indulge in the art of European or Oriental part or total body massage in one of the quiet relaxation rooms. 

In El Oriental one can enjoy the flair of the far east. This is a genuine culinary temple with a variety of delicious dishes from Thailand, China, Japan, Vietnam and Indonesia. It was officially opened by Queen Sirikit of Thailand personally.

Ideal as they are in every way, these surroundings alone pamper the guest perfectly.

The rooms are a dream: shape, colour and exquisite materials dominate this elegant interior. The attractive bed-cover has a truly majestic pattern. The spaciousness of the room is accented in the high mirrored wardrobe. Decorative accent pieces are the portraits, in elegant gold frames, of  birds. The generously sized suites have a separate lounge, large sun-terrace with a fantastic view of the snow-capped Teide and in some, the additional luxury of a Jacuzzi-whirlpool.
