Gran Hotel, Art Nouveau museum in Palma de Mallorca, Spain.
Gran Hotel is a five-story building in Palma de Mallorca featuring a facade decorated with polychromatic ceramics, wrought iron details, and carved stone ornaments. The exterior design combines flowing lines and floral motifs that define this architectural style.
The building was constructed in 1903 as the city's first luxury hotel, establishing a new standard for hospitality in Palma. It operated in this role until 1941, when it ceased functioning as a hotel and underwent transformation for different purposes.
The building functions as a cultural hub displaying contemporary and historical artworks within its ornate rooms and galleries. Visitors experience how the space continues to serve as a meeting point for art appreciation and creative expression in the city.
The building is open on weekdays and weekends, allowing visitors to explore its multiple floors and interior spaces at their own pace. The layout is straightforward and designed for independent visits through the galleries and historical rooms.
The ground floor houses a specialized design bookshop where visitors can discover publications about art and architecture in a refined setting. Adjacent to it sits a cafe-bar that invites people to spend time within the historic interiors while enjoying refreshments.
