Boutique Hotel Calatrava

Top choice in Palma de Mallorca


This boutique stunner sits right on the Old Town walls, with dazzling sea views in one direction, and close-ups of some of Palma's main sights in the other. The rooms retain the building's 19th-century allure, adding rich fabrics, contemporary art, smart TVs and minibars. The sun deck is the place for breakfast, with eggs to order and fresh-pressed juice.

In tune with the discreet vibe, the downstairs spa can be booked for individual use, which means you get the whirlpool, sauna and relaxation area all to yourself. The service, too, sets this hotel apart – nothing is too much trouble.
