The rooms
Light-filled bedrooms are finished in pale neutral tones, with original works by Mallorcan artists on the walls.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Sun loungers line the rooftop plunge pool, which looks out across Old Town rooftops toward Sant Jaume Church.
The spa and gym
The subterranean spa uses organic Spanish products for massages, and the first floor holds a compact gym.
At the table
El Colmado serves Mallorcan tapas with Don Bocarte anchovies and artisan cheeses. Marble tables sit beneath oversized cutlery sculptures.
How it began
Local hotelier Miguel Conde Moragues restored the mansion in 2017, preserving its original floor plan and historic stone pillars.
