Hotel Palacio Cueto

Located on the corner of Inquisidor and Muralla streets in the Plaza Vieja, the colonial heart of the capital city.

The building was once a warehouse and hat factory until the 1920s, when it was leased by José Cueto, to whom it owes its name, and converted into the Palacio Viena Hotel. Palacio Cueto boasts an ornate stone façade and elegant galleries that connect the first two floors. Balconies shaped in waves may pay tribute to the work of Gaudí, who always aimed to bring the surrounding nature into his works. It is a very unique building that reflects the expressionist style of the early twentieth century and is officially classified as modern. According to architectural experts, Marqués may have been inspired by emerging European trends.
