Being on vacation doesn't mean sacrificing good and quality food, especially when the destination is Spain, where the gastronomy is not only rich and diverse but also part of the culture. In this regard, the hotel establishments that have opened their doors in recent years are making a clear commitment to quality cuisine. This is the case with theHard Rock Hotel Tenerife, the second hotel of the brand in Spain, which opened its doors last October. Owned by Palladium Hotel Group, the hotel is located in Playa Paraíso, near Costa de Adeje, in southern Tenerife, and offers a concept they themselves call

lifestyle music

where they provide a casual luxury where music is the common thread.

In terms of gastronomy, Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife features five à la carte restaurants, among which the steakhouse Montauk stands out, considered by many to be the best meat restaurant on the island. The other restaurants include Narumi, where Asian cuisine - Japanese, Thai, Vietnamese... - reigns supreme; Ali-Olé, with a wide menu of Spanish tapas, highlighting Canarian cuisine; The Beach Club, where organic and healthy food fills the menu in an artificial saltwater lagoon; and the 3rd Half Sports Bar, where guests can enjoy typical American food while watching the most notable sports events on giant screens. Additionally, the hotel has the buffet Sessions, where dishes are served all day long.

But dining doesn't stop here at Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife. For those who prefer to snack, the establishment has five bars that offer appetizers, drinks after dinner, freshly brewed coffee, and cocktails, always accompanied by music. Moreover, the sky lounge bar The 16th features incredible views of Teide and the often overlooked island of La Gomera.

As for the music, it is the common thread throughout everything. That's why the hotel offers a comprehensive live music program on an outdoor stage next to its saltwater lagoon. A highlight of this program is Children of the '80, a musical party featuring a different guest artist every month: Twenty 4 Seven, Technotronic, Ultra Nate, Snap!, Just Kool (Kool and The Gang)...

Because almost everything is music at Hard Rock Hotel Tenerife. So much so that they provide their guests with Fender guitars and amplifiers to practice solos in their rooms.
