What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
this 16th-century edifice in Palma’s old town is a spectacular marriage of historical Mallorcan charm and contemporary Scandinavian design.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set where Palma Old Town meets Santa Catalina, the hotel sits a short stroll from La Rambla and Passeig del Born.
The rooms
Dark ceiling beams frame sage-and-white Huguet ceramic tiles, Carl Hansen chairs, and walk-in showers carved into the historic structure.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
The heated plunge pool sits in a walled courtyard flanked by striped loungers and a shaded pergola.
The sauna and gym
A glass-walled dry sauna and green-tiled relaxation benches sit alongside a mirrored fitness room.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant Xalest
Chef Xema Álvarez prepares modern Mallorcan sharing plates and seasonal tapas beneath restored stone cross-vaults.
How it began
Dating to 1576, the building operated as a soap factory and an olive oil market before its contemporary transformation.
