A Coruña, “ciudad de verano” na década de 1930. Dous proxectos hoteleiros de Antonio Tenreiro e Peregrín Estellés

Abstract

Unlike the outlook of expansion that Corunna’s hotel industry presents during the thriving 1920s, the 1930s seem empty of new enterprises. But in fact, at the beginning of this decade, architects Antonio Tenreiro & Peregrin Estellés took charge of two state-sponsored tourist projects that compete in ambition with the highest previous examples. Although they were not built, these projects illustrate two ways of conceiving the resort hotel, a type linked to a significant part of the Galician hotel history.
