Fantastico, uno de los edificios mas representativos del modernismo en Cartagena y en toda la zona del sureste español. Obra del arquitecto Victor Beltri, se termino en 1916. Se conserva su fachada, su rejeria y su estructura de acero original. Exterior realizado en ladrillo y piedra artificial, tuvo su inspiracion en el modernismo vienes y frances.
Inaugurado en 1916, este edificio de estilo modernista del arquitecto Víctor Beltrí, fue hotel y actualmente sede de una corporación bancaria. Se encuentra próximo a la calle Mayor, eje de la ciudad y zona de compras. Imprescindible de conocer.
Un edificio de 1906 creo si no he mirado mal, y se conserva en un estado, magnífico. Para quien le guste la arquitectura.. digno de parar en el
