Stately Palma pad with a rooftop twist
Housed in a lovingly restored 19th-century mansion on Plaza Sant Francesc, this five-star hideaway brings Palma’s heritage firmly into the now. Frescoed ceilings and coffered beams rub shoulders with sharp-lined furniture, bold modern art, and a rooftop pool gazing over the cathedral spires. With just 42 rooms and suites, intimacy rules the day, while service is as polished as the stone floors underfoot. Expect fine Mallorcan dining, creative cocktails and spa rituals that smell like the Mediterranean in bloom.
WHAT'S INCLUDED?
Hotel highlights
Quadrat Restaurant and Garden, once the estate’s stables, now frames a stage for Chef Àlvar Albaladejo’s inventive compositions. Plates arrive as edible artworks: prawn-stuffed hake folded with vermouth, Basque beef tartare lifted by smoked butter, or a delicate burrata cloaked in pistachio cream. There's a Sunday rice trilogy that locals queue for. The garden hums with quiet sophistication at lunch, while vaulted interiors glow by candlelight at dinner. On the rooftop, evenings unfurl with champagne, sushi, and the theatre of the setting sun – a tableau of city rooftops and cathedral spires drenched in amber.
Wellbeing here feels indulgent yet utterly serene. Treatments lean on Anne Semonin’s tailored blends – trace elements, oils, and the occasional dash of the unexpected – for their ooohhh-worthiness. Choose from deep-tissue massage, Hawaiian Lomi Lomi, or try a citrus-kissed ritual that leaves you glowing like the island’s own lemons. The spa’s quiet cabins look onto the courtyard, while the 24-hour gym hides in the old water cistern – a moody, stone-arched space with the latest Technogym kit. A poolside nap upstairs with cathedral views? Consider that therapy too.
The hotel itself is a living gallery, where frescoes, sculptures, and avant-garde canvases guide your passage through history reimagined. Each corridor reveals a dialogue between past and present – it's as close to the walls talking as you can get. Guests might slip out to Palma’s Gothic treasures – the floodlit cathedral, the cloisters of Sant Francesc, the Moorish baths – or cycle to the sea to gulp salt air.
Palma’s old town – a warren of cobbled streets, Gothic spires and courtyards perfumed with orange blossom – is right on your doorstep. The cathedral looms a few steps away, Gaudí and Barceló’s handiwork glowing in the light, while boutiques and galleries tempt along Avenida Jaume III. Plaça Major is your people-watching perch, alive with cafés and street performers, and just beyond the city walls, Mallorca’s sandy coves beckon for a quick dip. It’s a city that wears its history proudly, but never misses a chance to pour you a good vermut.
