Hotel Botánico Named Best in Tenerife for 2025 by Nordic Leisure Travel Group

The Canary Islands’ tourism industry has once again put Puerto de la Cruz on the map for luxury travel. The Nordic Leisure Travel Group has named the Hotel Botánico & The Oriental Spa Garden the best hotel in Tenerife for 2025. This award places the hotel among the top ten properties worldwide managed by the operator, which handles over 1.5 million trips to Scandinavia each year.

The award, presented at the hotel, highlights the importance of the Nordic market to the islands. More than just a business achievement, it recognizes the hotel’s consistent service and its ability to build loyalty among travelers who demand excellence. Wolfgang Kiessling, president of the Loro Parque Group, credited this success to the hotel’s focus on personalized service, which remains a key factor in competing within the luxury market.

The hotel is also undergoing a major transformation. Following the pandemic, the owners invested in three phases of upgrades, modernizing the suites, dining areas, and event spaces. These changes are designed to meet the needs of high-end travelers, helping the hotel maintain its reputation as a private retreat for international celebrities and cultural figures.

A major part of the hotel’s appeal is its wellness center, The Oriental Spa Garden, which has long been praised by publications like Condé Nast Johansens. Combined with a diverse range of dining options—from Asian to Mediterranean cuisine—this helps the hotel stay ahead of its European competitors.

This latest honor adds to a growing list of accolades from industry leaders, including British Airways, TUI, Jet2 Holidays, and Tripadvisor, as well as recognition from FIT Reisen and Skål International. These awards reflect a long-term commitment to quality, cementing the Hotel Botánico’s status as a leading example of Spanish hospitality in Europe.
