 Casa Fuster G.L Monumento

Casa Fuster G.L MonumentoThis iconic, Modernist building was built in 1908 and occupies one of the most prestigious locations in the city, at the head of the chic Passeig de Gracia. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. The 5-star Casa Fuster is a monument in itself, being the work of the architect Lluis Domènech i Montaner. 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. The work of this famous Modernist, including this hotel, has been designated as a World Heritage Site by UNESCO. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. From the building’s roof terrace you can enjoy unique views down the classy, central Passeig de Gracia and much of the rest of Barcelona. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). Along with the historic value of this hotel, you can also enjoy facilities added during the recent careful renovation. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. These include the rooftop plunge pool and the elegant, contemporary decor throughout. 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. Casa Fuster was named 2008 Best Urban Hotel in Spain by Gran Hotel magazine. 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.
