Gran Hotel de Cartagena, Modernist hotel building in central Cartagena, Spain.

The six-story Gran Hotel features brick and artificial stone construction with ornamental details inspired by French and Viennese architectural styles.

Construction began in 1907 under architect Tomás Rico, and after his death, Víctor Beltrí completed the project in 1916 for businessman Celestino Martínez Vidal.

During the Spanish Civil War from 1936 to 1939, the building served as headquarters for the Unified Socialist Youth and General Militia Quarters.

Located at Calle Jara 31, the structure maintains its original facade while the interior has been converted into modern office spaces.

The zinc dome crowning the corner of the top floor stands as the most notable modernist architectural element in the Murcia region.
