Facade of the Paris Hotel Building. It should not be confused with Grand Hôtel de Paris.
The Hotel Paris, also known as Casa de la Bola, is the name given to a building located in the city of Huelva, Spain. History
Located in the current Plaza de las Monjas, in the heart of the capital and in the back of the Duque de Medina-Sidonia Palace, it was commissioned by Antonio García Ramos to the architect Francisco Monís y Morales, completed in 1907. With the typology of house of flats own of the time, Monís designed a building divided in two independent sectors. The number 1 was designed as a building for homes and businesses while the number 2 as a hotel proper. The façade contains both classicist and modernist elements, highlighting the exposed brick and tiles, with a finish in the second three-quarter spherical dome building.
The avatars of the weather caused the building to lose its functionality as a hotel, to the last floors of the second building were added two new plants very disconnected and that the first was demolished. In 2009 the Number 1 was reconstructed in its totality, conserving only the original facade and adding two floors as the annex building. From 2009 to 2012, the first building served as an exhibition center for the Provincial Council of Huelva, while the second was for commercial premises. Bibliography
