“A 19th-century mansion turned into a chic boutique hotel right in the heart of the city's historic quarter. Individually styled rooms have sophisticated contemporary furniture, modern art, and many have balconies or verandas. Expect a noteworthy restaurant and a showstopper of a rooftop pool.”

Hotel Review
Following a recent renovation in 2015, this hotel is fast becoming Palma's go-to luxury spot. A grand entrance hall with original marble staircase and arched stone ceilings leads through to a charming indoor courtyard with olive trees and patio seating. Bedrooms are simple and elegant with polished wooden floors, high ceilings and charming Juliet balconies. The gem of this fabulous hotel is surely the rooftop terrace with an inviting swimming pool and popular sushi bar. A fantastic spot for an evening cocktail overlooking the city Cathedral. Staff are helpful and can offer lots of advice on local excursions. A grand hotel worth visiting!

Sant Francesc
This is Palma’s most self-assured though understated address.
