¿Cuál es la historia del inmueble?
Around 1830, a priest from O Grove (Pontevedra), who was familiar with the legends about the medicinal waters, went to the island of La Toja with a very ill servant. After several bathing sessions in the thermal pools, the servant's health improved significantly. This marked the beginning of a progressive increase in the number of visits to the island.
In 1840, a private company established itself on the island with only a few barracks and a few ashlar houses. In 1841, the Galician chemist Antonio Casares analysed the composition of the water. His findings led to the official authorisation of the spa in 1842, thus encouraging a group of neighbours and owners to start up a small bathhouse.
At the end of the 1880s the figure of the Marquis of Riestra appeared, owner of the 110 hectares occupied by the island, who soon realised the possibilities of the business model.
In 1896 Laureano Salgado, an important Galician industrialist, and Fernando Rodríguez Porrero, an Asturian pharmacist, bought the land and formed the Sociedad Anónima La Toja. All of them intended to transform the small island of La Toja into a meeting place for the social and political elite, as well as a tourist and industrial business.
A competition was organised for the design of the Gran Hotel La Toja, in which French and German architects competed, but also Daniel Vázquez-Gulías from Ourense, who was the winner. His proposal was inspired by other famous European spas, such as the French Vichy and the German Marienbad. The jury was composed of members of the École des Beaux Arts in Paris and the Escuela Superior de Arquitectura in Madrid.
On 27 January 1904, Daniel Vázquez-Gulías signed a complete urban planning project around the thermal baths. The general plan envisaged the occupation of two thirds of the island's land, including the construction of a Grand Hotel with a spa, casino, restaurant, hospital, chapel, a farm and extensive landscaped areas. The remaining third was reserved for a hunting reserve and a small beach. It was also planned to build small colonies of luxurious chalets, a jetty and a bridge linking the island with the peninsula of O Grove.
The overall project was presented on 4 February 1904 in Madrid to the Civil Governor of Pontevedra and the Minister of Agriculture, Industry, Commerce and Public Works. This was how the work was authorised to begin with a period of 4 years to carry it out.
At the beginning of 1905, construction work began, placing the building at the forefront of Europe. In 1907 the work on the Gran Hotel and the Casino pavilion was completed, and it was inaugurated on 1 July 1908.

¿Cuál era la época y/o el estilo arquitectónico en que se construyó el inmueble?
The architecture of the Gran Hotel La Toja responds in a practical way to all your needs. It is a building halfway between a hospital and a hotel, with characteristics of both. It is a curative building that gives rise to a space carefully designed to satisfy the wishes of its users.
The eclecticism typical of the end of the century allows all the stylistic liberties that converge in La Toja and which are manifested to a greater extent in the interior decoration, where stonemasons, blacksmiths, ceramists and painters contributed with their work to create the marvellous atmosphere of the Gran Hotel.
The dining room is a monumental double-height space with adjoining reading and billiard rooms. Once the tables were removed, it became a dance and music room. Its greatest architectural interest lay in the way natural light reached the centre of the room, through hollow levels and a large skylight. The interior embodied a modernist atmosphere adorned with arches with festoons and plant motifs, beautiful parapets of fine ironwork in the upper galleries and a magnificent mural painting by Ramón Pulido symbolising health, love and beauty, in a clear allusion to the paradise of the island of La Toja.
