A fifteenth-century Gothic palace preserving vaulted former stables and an authentic stone courtyard.

Monochrome minimalist interiors sit alongside Francesc Parietti's nineteenth-century ceiling fresco.
Notable
A thermal hydrotherapy pool and sauna tucked inside a sixteenth-century vaulted stone cistern.
What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
It’s made from a 15th-century Gothic palace … resulting in what you see today: a luxury boutique hotel with roughly equal measures of historical distinction and contemporary verve.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Palma's cobblestoned Carrer de la Concepció runs past the entrance, with the grand promenade of Passeig del Born just around the corner.
The rooms
Minimalist monochrome rooms retain their original timber ceilings, and the Parietti Suite sleeps directly beneath a nineteenth-century fresco.
The rooftop pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A shallow plunge pool sits on the wooden rooftop deck, looking out across Palma's historic roofs toward a stone bell tower.
The spa
A hydrotherapy pool with water-jet benches and a Finnish sauna sit beneath the stone vaults of the former rainwater cistern.
At the table
Equus serves Mediterranean dishes in the former stables, and 1874 Lounge Bar pours drinks on the courtyard patio.
