What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
This Swedish-owned boutique spans the centuries, a sixteenth-century mansion and a Sixties apartment block joined together, the interiors renovated and redecorated in an utterly contemporary twenty-first-century style.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Set within historic La Lonja, the hotel opens onto a lively pedestrian lane lined with evening diners near Passeig del Born.
The rooms
Hardwood floors and white walls keep the rooms understated, accented by contemporary paintings and historic ceiling beams.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A shallow plunge pool sits on the wooden rooftop deck, looking out past Palma Cathedral toward the Mediterranean.
The sauna and gym
A picture window in the rooftop sauna looks directly at Palma Cathedral, and a mirrored gym holds cardio machines.
At the table
The ground-floor bistro serves light Mediterranean dishes and cocktails among leather banquettes and framed prints.
How it began
Known historically as Can Mayol, the sixteenth-century merchant estate was unified with an adjacent mid-century residential block via a glass stairwell.
