Cas Ferrer Nou Hotelet

This unique hotel blends a century-old building with contemporary design features, creating a charming and exclusive setting for your visit to the island of Majorca. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. The Cas Ferrer Nou was once a former blacksmith’s house in the centre of Alcudia’s old town. It also includes the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean, the Canary Islands in the Atlantic and the cities of Ceuta and Melilla Its total surface area is 504,788 sq kms Spain's powerful world empire of the 16th and 17th centuries ultimately yielded command of the seas to England. Since then, the building has been carefully converted into a stylish, modern hotel which still retains much of its historic charm. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. Fashionable lighting illuminates details such as bare-stone walls and pretty, original tiles. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). Each chic guestroom comes with smart parquet floors and trendy furnishings. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. When not relaxing here you can head to the rooftop terrace to enjoy the Mediterranean sunshine and magnificent views over the sea and the island’s stunning landscape. Continuing concerns are large-scale unemployment and the Basque separatist movement The diversity and contrast that go to mould the character of Spain are likewise in evidence in its cities. Alternatively relax in the inviting lounge. Celts, Iberians, Phoenicians and, at a later date, the Greco-Roman civilisation laid the first cornerstones of urban settlements which, to this day, bear the marks of their passage through time During the Middle Ages, Arabic, Jewish and Christian cultures, singly and through a process of mutual cross-influence, gave rise to the birth of cities which have come to house an historical-artistic heritage of incalculable proportions Tradition alone does not suffice Modernity too is essential, and this was something certain Spanish monarchs –Charles III for one– managed to successfully apply during their reigns in order to beautify townscapes, like that of Madrid, with parks and landmark monuments, thereby instilling the city with a spirit of renewal. The Cas Ferrer Nou lies a short distance from the beautiful sandy beaches of northern Majorca. It was this element of urban renewal that became even more evident at a later date, in the form of townplans designed to extend and enlarge the leading cities, and the construction of graceful buildings which, in keeping with the shifts and changes in architectural tastes, have helped shape the identity of Spain’s cities over the last two hundred years.
