SPAIN | Canfranc International Railway Station | New York Euskadi TV 🇺🇸

Canfranc International Railway Station / Aragón Spain .Nestled amidst the scenic landscapes of the Spanish Pyrenees, the Canfranc International Railway Station, inaugurated in 1928, has long stood as a symbol of cross-border connections and grandeur.

Spanning over 240 meters, its majestic architecture and strategic location near the French-Spanish border made it a pivotal point for international travel and trade during the early 20th century.
The transformation of the Canfranc railway station in Spain into a luxury hotel is a fascinating example of how historic buildings can be repurposed to meet modern needs while preserving their architectural significance.

In recent years, however, efforts have been made to restore the station to its former glory and repurpose it as a luxury hotel. One of the most remarkable features of the hotel is its restoration of the station's original architecture, including the ornate facade and grand entrance hall. The hotel has also preserved many of the station's original features, including its clock tower and ticket windows, which serve as reminders of the building's storied past. The Canfranc railway station, located in the Pyrenees Mountains near the French-Spanish border, was once one of the largest railway stations in Europe.

The station lay dormant for decades until work began to transform the still beautiful, but long neglected, building into a hotel operated by the Barcelo Hotel Group. After years of regeneration, Canfranc Station welcomed its first guests in January 2023. The renovated interior aims to evoke the 1920s, while also referencing the natural landscape surrounding the hotel. There are 104 rooms in the hotel, including four suites. There’s a wellness area, including a pool and three restaurants. What was once the station concourse is now the hotel reception. However, it fell into disuse and disrepair in the latter half of the 20th century.
