Spain’s Iberostar Grand Mencey Reopens Following Makeover

The Iberostar Grand Mencey Hotel reopened in the city of Santa Cruz, Tenerife, in Spain’s Canary Islands after a 25 million euro renovation.

Originally opened in 1950, the colonial-style property now features a restored lobby; 261 fully-refurbished rooms and 52 suites; a gourmet a la carte restaurant, Los Menceyes; the Bar Iballa, offering evening cocktails and afternoon tea and coffee service; along with 10 multi-functional meeting and event spaces equipped with full audio-visual equipment.

A new offering for the hotel includes a spa with over 6,500 square feet of treatment rooms, serene water ritual pools and relaxation areas. Additionally, the property’s gardens have been expanded to nearly 22,000 square feet, where an outdoor pool, bar and solarium are located.

Furthermore, the Casa del Duque -- an individual estate located within the hotel grounds -- has been acquired and transformed into an exclusive space dedicated for events, featuring direct access to the botanical gardens. Guests of the hotel are also provided complimentary access to the Casino de Santa Cruz, also located on the grounds.
