What is the history of the property?
The history of the Hotel Real is told in a similar way to that of the city of Santander. During its hundred years of life, the hotel has battled storms and hurricanes; it has survived the great fire of Santander and a civil war. It has also been part of the happiest moments of the city and its inhabitants, hosting great festivities and important monarchic, political and cultural receptions.
King Alfonso XIII received the preliminary project for the construction of the hotel on 4 September 1915 from the architect Javier González de Riancho, who proposed that the building be located on the site the monarch had in mind, between Avenida de la Reina Victoria and Paseo de Pérez Galdós.
An initial project is proposed for a luxurious hotel of solid and elegant construction. It would consist of six floors, four of which would be used as bedrooms, with a group of rooms, all with en-suite bathrooms.
The hotel would be surrounded by a park and from its terraces there would be a view of the sea and its coastline. On 18 September, the final approval of the site was obtained and Javier González de Riancho's project was accepted. The tender was awarded to a Basque contractor who undertook to have the works completed by 31 March 1917.
On 26 February 1916, the Sociedad Anónima del Hotel Real was created and constituted, which would be responsible for the purchase of the land, the construction, management and operation of the hotel.

What was the era and/or the architectural style in which the property was built?
The Hotel Real was built at the beginning of the 20th century. It still conserves its original structure. It has seven floors, including the basement and the main floor. The main floor consists of a succession of large galleries, terraces and lounges decorated with elements inspired by the English Georgian, Adams and French Louis XVI styles. All of them are representative of neoclassicism, although, in the architect's words, "treated with the sparseness characteristic of grand hotels".
This neoclassical style can be perceived throughout the hotel, with decorative details designed by the architect himself, such as the classic furniture in fine wood, which is in excellent condition.
