The importance of this building, built in the early twentieth century, lies not only in its architecture but also for the way it is inserted into the urban design as part of the historic city.
The Grand Hotel is a prominent monument in the tissue of Monuments, Cartagena and one of the most representative works of international modernism in the region.
The building has six floors.
On the facade, artificial stone and red brick seen protruding concrete ornamental elements.
It is surmounted by a pointed dome and equipped with several small windows that allow the use of natural light, giving it a slender appearance and counteract the dominance of horizontal lines of the facade.
Construction, which is in good condition, was projected on Roman remains by architect Tomás Rico, happened after his death by Victor Beltrí, who opened the hotel between 1912 and 1916.
