AC Zizur Mayor

This smart and trendy hotel is located in the town of Zizur Mayor, on the edge of the Navarran city of Pamplona. It occupies the Iberian Peninsula and is bathed by the Mediterranean Sea, the Atlantic Ocean and the Cantabrian Sea. It is located only 3 km from the city centre. 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. Zizur Mayor Hotel is situated near an industrial area and enjoys excellent transport connections. Subsequent failure to embrace the mercantile and industrial revolutions caused the country to fall behind Britain, France, and Germany in economic and political power. It is next to the A-12 and A-15 motorways. Spain remained neutral in World Wars I and II, but suffered through a devastating Civil War (1936-39). So this is ideal accommodation for those visiting the region on business. In the second half of the 20th century, it has played a catch-up role in the western international community. Relax with friends or colleagues in the comfortable AC Lounge. 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, you can do some exercise in the hotel’s fitness suite at the end of a long day’s sightseeing or business meetings. 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. There is also a smart restaurant onsite, allowing you to dine in style without leaving the hotel. 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. The hotel is located just 5 km from Pamplona’s railway station and 6 km far from the airport. This contrast is also to be seen in the individual heartbeat of Spain’s cities, where surroundings, climate and daily lifestyles harmonise to lend each its own typical character and atmosphere.
