The ongoing dispute over the demolition of the Hotel Formentor has made it to The Times. The broadsheet dedicates a substantial space on its website to the story.

"An elegant 1920s hotel that stood in a spectacular corner of Mallorca and was beloved of Winston Churchill, royalty, writers and international stars is being demolished illegally, opposition groups allege," the newspaper reports.

A war of words has broken out over the demolition of the hotel which is being widely redeveloped by its new Canadian owners. It is due to re-open again in 2024 once all the redevelopment work has taken place, but there have been calls for the project to be abandoned.

The Hotel Formentor was one of Mallorca's first luxury hotels.

This project must have had permission to build a new hotel. How can the Government now start trying to change the goal posts. I know they have been pressured by a certain groups but I still don't comprehend how you can give permission for a project & then back track on certain areas of this project. It's unbelievable. The hotel was built in the 1920s therefore in 2022 the foundations for the main building cannot be up to par 100 years later.
