All around are fine dining restaurants and unique shops, ensuring that your stay in this area of Boston will be an enjoyable and memorable one. Of course, a hotel cannot merely rely on a great location; it must provide the service too, which the Boston Harbour Hotel does in spades.

Built to replace its predecessor, the Langham Grand Hotel, the Langham has continued the tradition of providing a warm welcome and friendly service at all times. It combines this perfectly with the sophistication that one would expect in what used to be the Federal Reserve Bank. As a result, it is a welcome luxurious retreat from the hustle and bustle that inevitably comes with such a central location. The hotel is located right in the heart of Boston’s cultural and economic centre.
Las Palmas is the capital city of Gran Canaria. It is found to the north east of the island; this is a particularly beautiful area, set amongst two scenic coves. In between these coves are the Playa de Las Alcaravaneras and Playa de Las Canteras beaches; two perfect spots for soaking up the rays and swimming in the Atlantic Ocean. The city of Real de Las Palmas was first established in the late 15th century. Hence it also is a city of substance, with its own long established culture and local economies before it became popular with tourists. As the settlement grew, it split into two districts, Triana and Vegueta. These were located on the left and right banks respectively of the Barranco de Guiniguada. Nowadays, the Calle Juan de Quesada, a modern day main road, forms the border between both of these areas. Vegueta is the ‘Old Town’ of Las Palmas, and since 1990 has been officially recognised by UNESCO as a place of great cultural and historical importance.
Las Palmas Gran Canaria
For about four centuries, the population of Las Palmas mainly remained within the walls of Triana and Vegueta. During the 1500s, 1600s and 1700s, these two districts, as well as some humble immigrant and fishing districts and San José, together formed the city. However, in the 1800s, when Puerto de la Luz harbour was built, Las Palmas began to grow northwards, following the coast. It was at this time that Arenales, Alcaravaneras, La Isleta, Santa Catalina and Ciudad Jardín districts came into being.
