"Palma is Calma"

AT A GLANCE: Located in the center of the historic side of town, Hotel Antigua Palma is a distinctly modern interpretation of the old-world charm that surrounds it. Housed in a restored 17th-century building, the hotel has 27 rooms, a hidden bar, Arabic Baths influenced spa, and the crowing jewel — its rooftop, which boasts a bar, a pool, and the best spots to soak in the Mallorcan sun, all with an incredible view of the medieval town.

Highs & Lows

  • Hotel Antigua Palma's location is right in the center of the historic district, in a charming neighborhood

  • The staff at the hotel is amicable and accommodating

  • The rooftop is idyllic, and the entire place feels like a hidden Spanish Riad

  • We also loved the bathtub in the room!

  • Lighting in the elevator is very harsh and contrasts the thoughtful design of the rest of the property

  • Bath amenities could be bettered to something natural and more luxurious
