Gran Hotel

Local nameGran Hotel CaixaForum
LocationPalma, Spain

The Gran Hotel is a former historic hotel in Palma de Mallorca, in Spain. It is part of the historic centre of the city.

The hotel was designed by Lluís Domènech i Montaner and completed in 1903. Today the building has been converted into a cultural center, home to the Fundación la Caixa. It contains a permanent exhibition of paintings by Anglada Camarasa. The building is one of the most important examples of Modernisme on the island, with a facade lavishly decorated with sculptures and ceramics.

Due to events such as the Spanish Civil War and World War II, the hotel closed its doors in 1941 and was acquired the following year by the State to house the Instituto Nacional de Previsión. The hotel underwent major modifications, disfiguring the first floor with partitions and making the arcades and columns disappear.
