The Canfranc Station in Spain’s Aragon Valley first opened its doors in 1928 with he King of Spain and the President of the French Republic in attendance.

The train station would then have tumultuous life during World War II with spies transiting the station, persecutions, and a Nazi gold smuggling operation. Then the station sat neglected until its doors were closed in 1970. However, this train station is being granted a second life by the Barcelo Hotel Group.

The dilapidated has attracted photographers and explorers who come honor its somber history and soak up the past by snapping photos of its eerie interior.

Soon, that will change and instead travelers will be coming to the station as a place to rest.

The newly revived Canfranc Station was imagined by ILMIODESIGN, a Madrid-based design studio. The new design marries 1920s aesthetics with modern facilities. The hotel’s colors are neutral tones with pops of green and blue that match the surrounding Pyrenees Mountains.

The new hotel will offer 104 rooms, restaurants, bars, and wellness spaces for guest use..

Don’t worry if you’re coming for the station’s history. The hotel staff are trained in the story of Canfranc Station, so you can still get your history lesson during your stay.
