The verdict
A 16th-century palace in Palma's old town turned into twenty-four suites around one of the largest private gardens in the city, with a pool under the trees, a rooftop terrace facing the cathedral and Botànic, the city's first plant-forward restaurant. It holds a MICHELIN Key and is the most romantic hotel in Palma.
Couples who want Palma on foot and a secret garden to come back to, with a serious restaurant downstairs.
You want a sea view from the room or a modern, minimal hotel: this is a house of antiques, velvet and old stone.
Take breakfast in the garden, and go up to the roof before dinner, when the cathedral turns pink.
The rooms
Twenty-four suites, no two alike, with restored cornices and beams, antique furniture, deep colours and big bathrooms, several with a free-standing stone or copper bath.
The setting
On a quiet street of the old town near the Llotja and the Born, a few minutes' walk from the cathedral and the port. The walled garden, with its pool and old trees, is the heart of the house; the rooftop adds a second terrace with a view over the city.
The food
Botànic puts vegetables from local organic farms first, with fish and meat in a supporting role, and serves breakfast in the garden. Palma's best tapas bars are around the corner.
Getting there
About 15–20 minutes by taxi from Palma airport. No car needed in the city.
Good to know
Children are welcome. There is a spa with treatment rooms. The garden pool is small and shaded, for cooling off rather than swimming lengths.
