There are hotels that transcend the fact of being accommodations because the history of the building that houses them is simply spectacular. That makes them end up becoming hotels luxury to try to maintain, as far as possible, the idiosyncrasy and expertise of the place. And the latest addition in our country has been the old (and beautiful) Canfranc station in Huesca. So in De Salas We thought it was a unique opportunity to get to know this and other traditional accommodations.
Located in a majestic modernist building and art decĂł, in the middle of the Pyrenees, the historic Canfranc station It has been falling in love with everyone who has been lucky enough to visit it since 1928. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest, it will be one of those hotels lavish from the hand of the BarcelĂł group, which will operate with the luxury brand Royal Hideway Luxury Hotels & Resorts.
It will have more than 100 rooms, a wellness area with a heated pool, its extraordinary lobby will be the hotel's reception, and two old carriages will be rehabilitated following the style of classic trains. Everything to maintain the essence of a space as emblematic as that.
In Spain we also find the Cotton House Hotel, another one of those hotels five-star hotel which, as they themselves explain, “was designed to discover the true essence of Barcelona”, as it stands in what was once the headquarters of the Cotton Textile Foundation, an emblematic 19th century building in a neoclassical style and built by the architect ElĂas Rogent, as Barcelona as the hotel.
El BailĂo Palace It oozes ancient history. Located in CĂłrdoba, it was the first five stars in the city, and is located deep in the ancient caliphal city. This particular manor house was also declared a Site of Cultural Interest, and its history dates back to the Roman era of the 1st century, from which its spectacular interior bathrooms are still preserved. A marvel.
And still without leaving the peninsula, the Hotel Villa Rosario, in Ribadesella, is quite an experience. It is a typical Indian mansion, converted into delicious accommodation in which even the smallest detail has been taken care of. Located on the beach of Santa Marina, one does not know what to stay with, if the comfort of your rooms, the waves crashing in the background, the Picos de Europa mountains that surround us or its delicious cuisine at its Ayalga restaurant. One of the hotels with the most charm that we can visit.
As a curiosity, we are going to cross the pond to literally rob a bank. Because that's what it was in ancient times Metropolitan at the 9, in Cleveland. The vaults that, according to what they say, stored millions of dollars from magnates like John D. Rockefeller, are now an exclusive cocktail lounge where you can take a trip to the past, between the thick security doors, still intact today.
En De Salas We are curious by nature and we never tire of thinking and recommending all kinds of things for our clients and friends. And we are sure that this peculiar classification of hotels With history, it will not leave anyone indifferent.
