Accommodation on La Palma (Hotels)

The observatory can arrange bookings in hotels on La Palma for visiting observers who will be spending some time at sea-level. Alternatively visiting observers can book direct. Look here for descriptions of available hotels.

Residencia Accommodation on Site

The Residencia on site is operated by the IAC. There is a Residencia receptionist to deal with room allocation, room key, bills, etc.

The Residencia bedrooms are mostly single (with some twin bedrooms and one double bedroom suite) and are fully furnished together with their own showers, telephones and effective window blinds. There are also very comfortable lounge and recreation areas. A limited transport service operates between the Residencia and the telescope buildings. If the weather permits, cars are at the disposal of the scheduled WHT,INT and JKT observers, one car for each observing team.
