This emblem of industrial architecture, declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2002, is one of the most important railway complexes built in Europe in the first third of the 20th century, and has now been transformed into a luxury hotel, thanks to a renovation project that has preserved its unique features and DNA, giving life to a new icon of the 21st century.

Its elegant rooms are designed to offer a warm and exclusive stay, with furnishings in fine materials such as wood and brass, rich fabrics such as velvet and a colour palette inspired by the 1920s. All this is interspersed with art deco elements and textile details, in constant dialogue with local culture and tradition.
This hotel is also the place to discover Aragonese haute cuisine, with a Michelin-starred gastronomic proposal that fuses tradition and avant-garde led by Chef Eduardo Salanova and Maître Ana Acín. In the heart of the Aragonese Pyrenees, and with the characteristic excellence of Royal Hideaway Hotels & Resorts, Canfranc Estación, a Royal Hideaway Hotel is a reference of design, gastronomy and unique experiences linked to the destination.
Hotel with history in the Aragonese Pyrenees
Canfranc Estación, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, is located in the emblematic Canfranc Railway Station, inaugurated in 1928. Declared an Asset of Cultural Interest in 2002, the station has been the protagonist of important historical events and, thanks to its transformation into the largest luxury hotel in Canfranc, it is now writing a new story connected to the 21st century and its legacy. Its history is closely linked to the railway connection between Spain and France, which opened up new possibilities for the mobility of people and goods.
Work on the Somport tunnel, an essential part of the project, was carried out between 1908 and 1912, but it was not until 1928 that the station was inaugurated in a ceremony attended by King Alfonso XIII and the President of the French Republic, Gaston Doumergue.
Canfranc's important link with France is evident in its architecture, with a style reminiscent of the French railway stations of the 19th century, which can be seen in buildings such as the current Musée d'Orsay in Paris. Designed by the architect Fernando Ramírez Dampierre, it incorporates characteristic elements of the period such as slate roofs, dormers, Art Deco pinnacles and a large central dome. Built entirely of concrete, iron, stone and glass, Canfranc station is also considered one of the greatest jewels of Spanish industrial architecture.
Unique mountain location
Around the Canfranc Estación, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, the frontiers merge into a thick blanket of forest. A mountain hotel where time stands still and you can enjoy all the experiences this destination has to offer. It is located close to the Candanchú and Astún ski resorts and the Somport Pass, a mountainous area that is particularly beautiful in the winter months when its peaks are covered in snow.
There are many hiking routes in the vicinity of the hotel. They all pass through landscapes and natural sites as impressive as the peak of the Magdalena, the Lecherines ice cave, the Izagra lake and dolmen, the Güixas cave and, in general, the whole of the Western Valleys Natural Park.
