The house
Bordoy HotelsBotanical mansion haven
Ivy-draped courtyards and velvet-lined salons make this restored noble mansion feel like an eccentric private home rather than a hotel.
What it’s good at
Remarkable
Restored ancient walls meet Japanese kintsugi philosophy, theatrical ceiling-height velvet drapes, and custom walnut cocktail cabinets.
Notable
Dedicated butler service attends garden loungers, paired with electronically adjustable mattresses and bespoke cocktail bars.
Notable
A sixteenth-century noble mansion and former nunnery retains twelfth-century stone foundations and antique wooden rafters.
What they say
Also in Michelin.
The service is friendly but also highly capable, and the atmosphere is stylish without being intimidating.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Tucked along a quiet stone alley in La Lonja, the hotel sits minutes on foot from Palma Cathedral and the marina.
The rooms
Suites feature freestanding bathtubs, bespoke walnut cocktail cabinets, and beds wrapped in ceiling-height velvet drapes with adjustable firmness controls.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated swimming pool sits in the 750-square-meter garden, and a rooftop plunge pool overlooks Palma Cathedral.
The baths
Set beneath twelfth-century stone vaults, the subterranean thermal circuit includes a heated plunge pool and a hammam.
The spa
Massages use organic Mediterranean oils and Swiss skincare, with treatments offered indoors or in a private garden cabana.
Dogs stay too.
Botànic Restaurant
Plant-forward Mediterranean dishes are served across a book-lined dining salon and tables under the courtyard trees.
At the table
The lounge bar mixes craft cocktails under a mirrored ceiling, with green velvet stools set beside a grand piano.
How it began
Once a sixteenth-century aristocratic mansion and nunnery, the derelict structure was restored using kintsugi principles to celebrate its weathered architectural scars.
