Hotel Ca’n Cirera
Sitting on the edge of Palma Old Town, Hotel Ca'n Cirera is nestled within a 15th-century stately building, just yards from the city's epic cathedral.
Despite its central location in Palma, there is a sense of pure tranquillity when entering the hotel doors.
Perfectly understated, guests can expect 5-star service (the most warm welcome in Mallorca!) and surroundings, with elegant guest rooms, ultra comfy beds, and the ultimate night sleep.
Ca’n Cirera has just 19 signature rooms, all of different categories that represent the elegance of its building, all with restored ceilings, windows and beautiful arches.

Palma Riad
Palma Riad is understandably one of the best-rated hotels in Old Town Palma. With an exotic feel and adult-only policy, the riad offers a romantic retreat, perfect for a honeymoon in Mallorca or a special getaway.
There are just 11 suites in the hotel, all offering the highest levels of privacy and space. The decor is dark but warm, creating a homely atmosphere.
My favourite suite is the Persian Suite, which is completed by a huge Persian carpet hung as the bed headboard. It is hard to find much space in such a historic city, but guests can indulge in 36 sqm and enjoy the central fireplace during winter.
Breakfast is taken in a picturesque atrium, which turns into a bar serving delicious cocktails at night.
The hotel is on the doorstep of a charming shopping street, as well as excellent restaurants like El Camino.

The hotel occupies one of the city's oldest buildings, dating back to the 12th century as a Muslim Palace. The Nobis Hotel is in a quiet part of town; the 37 guest rooms are laidback yet elegant, offering a contemporary luxury influenced by Scandinavian design.
Thanks to its shaded pergola, the Sun Terrace offers respite from the heat. Designed to provide harmony and relaxation, it has luxurious sun loungers and abundant greenery. Downstairs, you can enjoy the inner courtyard, a serene oasis, a perfect place for a tranquil breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
Nobis Hotel SPA is a place to disconnect entirely. It offers swimming in the indoor pool, a dry sauna, and a full-spectrum infrared sauna. Spa guests can view a visible tunnel that was once used as an escape route hundreds of years ago.
Hotel Cappuccino
Tucked away in the heart of the city, just half a kilometre from Plaza Cort is Hotel Cappuccino. Designed to be a home-from-home, Hotel Cappuccino offers 32 eclectic-style guest rooms designed by Parisian designer, Jacques Grange.
The pool terrace is an ideal retreat from the buzzing city, a peaceful oasis with sun loungers, a small pool, and a team of staff to indulge you with drinks and snacks whenever you wish.
A spa and wellness facilities are on site, with the hotel committed to providing a refreshing and rejuvenating stay. Guests can enjoy solo treatments or a couples treatment before relaxing in the hotel sauna or jacuzzi.
Foodies will love the Cappuccino Grand Café, offering delicious all-day dining, and with tables that spill outside, it is also a pleasant place to spend your spare moments people watching.
