The Caleta Hotel, also known as Caleta Palace Hotel, was a four star hotel in the British Overseas Territory of Gibraltar. It was located at Catalan Bay on the east coast of the territory overlooking the Mediterranean Sea. It owed its name to La Caleta (Catalan for "Small Cove"), the traditional name given from the Spanish period to Catalan Bay and the fishing village located in its shore. The Caleta Hotel carried guest rooms and suites.[1]
