Palma, Spain
Palma Old Town
Vibe
Medieval Moorish archways and sunlit stone courtyards meet calm Nordic interiors in this restored palace setting.
“Moorish palace sanctum”
Preserved medieval stone archways meet Scandinavian minimalism, pairing natural wood and leather with bespoke artisan lighting.
Set in a twelfth-century Islamic palace, featuring an ancient wooden paneled ceiling with preserved Arabic Naskh calligraphy.
Refined hospitality pairs Byredo bath products and Bang & Olufsen audio with evening turndown and personalized concierge care.
In Palma's Old Town, tucked along Carrer de les Caputxines a short walk from La Seu Cathedral.
“the 37 rooms and suites display a hushed sophistication, where stone walls and wood floors are the foundation for a pared-down, Danish-inspired design.”
Rooms
Spanish limestone walls and exposed timber rafters frame custom carpentry, layered wools, and neutral linens in serene, hushed retreats.
“To bring the building firmly into the modern day, Wingårdhs’ has brought a sober Scandinavian style to each of the 37 rooms and suites.”
Wellness
A subterranean medieval escape tunnel now shelters an intimate heated plunge pool, dry sauna, and vaulted stone steam room.
Backstory
The twelfth-century Islamic palace survived fire and earthquake across seven historical eras before its meticulous restoration as a hotel.

Restaurant NOI shares local Mediterranean plates beneath courtyard arches, while Mirall Bar pours cocktails beneath nine-meter-high ceilings.

Our shorthand
What makes a hotel special, how well they pull it off, and what it feels like outside the door.
How well they pull it off
Extremely rare. Sets the global standard.
Brilliant execution. And we’re picky.
They did this well. You’ll notice.
A defining trait. Makes the hotel what it is.
The eight vibes
Architecture and interiors lead. There’s a creative vision at work.
The guest is conspicuously well cared for. Requests met before they’re made.
Rooted in place. Local character runs through the whole stay.
Energy and scene. Where the city goes out, whether or not it’s sleeping here.
A building with history. The story of the place is part of the stay.
Built around feeling better. Rest, sweat, soak, spa.
A hotel the city grew up with. Same rituals, same regulars.
A world of its own. No reason to leave the property.
Scene — what’s outside the door
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
A place apart: the property is the destination.
