Monterrey

Classical and elegant hotel in Salamanca. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. The Monterrey Hotel is one of the establishments with the greatest tradition from Salamanca. 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. It is located in a majestic Neoclassical building fully in the city center, within the monumental and shopping area and at just 2 minutes on foot from the Plaza Mayor. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. The Monterrey Hotel has 144 comfortable and spacious rooms, equipped with satellite TV, telephone and mini bar, among others. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). The elegance and the luxury combine themselves with the comfort and the most actual services inside its modern facilities. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. The Monterrey Hotel offers cared and equipped lounges to all the clients, ideal to hold any kind of banquets, congresses and conventions. 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. The great offer of this magnificent hotel is completed by its restaurant, Business center and the car park. 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.
