La construcción hotelera en la España del final de la autarquía. Una aproximación a través de la Revista Nacional de Arquitectura

Hotel construction in Spain, in the late 50s of the 20th century, shows a clear commitment to functionalism and modernity. It is evidenced - through the National Architecture Magazine published in Madrid - that tourism architecture is attached at this stage to the international trends of the moment. This is also evident by the appearance of Spanish examples in European catalogs, among hotels of renowned architectural quality from other countries. Modernity also understood as functional sobriety in the exteriors; what hires with interiors where he recreates a luxurious taste Deco. Thus, avant-garde trends are present in Spain since postwar period, which demonstrates that regressions of the Autarchy did not prevent the maintenance of an innovative line in the national architecture that came from the previous stage.
