Frommer's Review

Although not in the same league as the Arabella and Son Vida, this place is a delight and less expensive. For generations this 15th-century town house languished as a decaying apartment building facing the side of the cathedral. In 1993, an entrepreneurial couple from Cardiff, Wales, began restoring the place, salvaging the original marble floors and stained-glass windows, sheathing the walls of the public areas with silk, and adding modern amenities. Today, the place is the most alluring in all of Palma, loaded with English and Spanish antiques and paintings. Most rooms overlook an enclosed courtyard draped with potted plants and climbing vines. The guest rooms are quite opulent, with antiques and Persian rugs. Neatly kept bathrooms come with tub/shower combos. There's no restaurant, but a hearty buffet is served each morning (for an extra charge).

Facilities:
2 lounges; whirlpool; sauna; room service; massage; babysitting; laundry service; dry cleaning; nonsmoking rooms; rooms for those w/limited mobility

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
