 The Grand Hotel, that opened in 1898 and hosted very important guests in the early twentieth century, started its decline after the spanish civil war.In 1973 a devastating fire destroyed the Grand Hotel and left the building in ruins until 2005, when it was rebuilt to house private apartments.In the meantime, a new hotel and spa was built in the adjacent buildings, and nowadays Mondariz-Balneario remains as one of the most important spa resorts in Galicia.
