What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
...a fine example: an aristocratic residence from the 17th century, remodeled in the 18th, and most recently converted into a 27-room luxury boutique hotel
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
The medieval Jewish quarter's stone lanes wind past the entrance, just minutes on foot from the Arab Baths.

The rooms
Rooms pair quiet textures with neutral tones, and traditional Mallorcan shutters open onto the narrow stone lanes.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Submerged stepping stones cross the rooftop plunge pool. Cushioned daybeds sit along the edge, looking out over the old quarter.
The spa
A heated hydrotherapy pool sits against sandstone walls, and a glass Finnish sauna faces wooden loungers.
At the table
Antigua Bar mixes cocktails beneath a low sandstone vault, and the canopied rooftop terrace serves tapas above the city.
How it began
The merchant Ferrer-Quintana family overhauled the seventeenth-century estate, which later housed Palma's School of Tourism before becoming a hotel.
