Sant Francesc Hotel Singular
Palma, Spain
Palma Old Town
Vibe
A quiet neoclassical manor centered around a sandstone courtyard, where Spanish contemporary art meets sun-drenched Mallorcan stone.
“Aristocratic palace showcase”
Minimalist guest rooms showcase French oak floors and curated Spanish contemporary art beneath restored historic mouldings.
Restored 1880 neoclassical manor palace featuring preserved ceiling frescoes, sandstone arches, and original stable vaults.
Attentive boutique hospitality with personalized island itineraries, Spanish Bassols linens, and thoughtful evening turndown service.
Facing the quiet Plaça de Sant Francesc in Palma's historic old town, steps from the basilica.
“The rooms and suites apply a near-monochrome, minimalist scheme to the well-preserved architectural details.”
Rooms
French oak floors set a calm, neutral backdrop, with restored 19th-century ceiling frescoes and private balconies gracing select suites.
“An 1880 manor house, located on Palma’s historic Plaza San Francicso, has been transformed into a 42-room hotel.”
Wellness
Work out beneath the vaulted arches of a subterranean water cistern, then cool off in the rooftop pool facing the basilica.
Backstory
Originally built in the 1880s for the aristocratic Alomar Femenía family, the manor was revived by seasoned hoteliers as an intimate city retreat.
Eat & drink
Quadrat serves fresh Mediterranean plates inside the former stable vaults and out in a lush courtyard shaded by olive trees.
The neighborhood
Cobblestone alleys lead from Plaça de Sant Francesc to Palma Cathedral and the Arab baths, just minutes from the hotel entrance.

The app
This is one hotel. The app has every one we rate, in your pocket, for the whole trip.
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.
