Palau Sa Font Boutique Hotel
Boutique hotel in the historic old town with a relaxed atmosphere and local character
Its central location makes it easy to explore Palma on foot, with the port, cultural sights and the shops and cafés of Paseo del Borne all just a short walk away. It’s a convenient base whether you’re visiting for a city break, a longer stay or simply to enjoy Palma’s food scene and atmosphere.
The hotel has a relaxed, informal feel, with a focus on friendly, personalised service rather than formal luxury. Each guest is treated individually, with a team on hand to offer as much or as little help as needed, from local restaurant recommendations to practical advice during your stay.
Rooms and shared spaces reflect a mix of traditional Mallorcan features and modern design, with furniture designed in-house and crafted locally using materials that highlight the island’s heritage. A buffet breakfast made with local ingredients is served daily, and guests can enjoy complimentary Wi-Fi throughout the hotel. Cots are available free of charge, and well-behaved pets are welcome.
With its strong connection to the neighbourhood and a genuine, down-to-earth approach, Palau Sa Font offers a comfortable and characterful place to stay in the heart of Palma.
The Restaurant
The hotel presents a buffet breakfast from 08:00 to 11:00 every day. The perfect option after a big night out, or before exploring the cobble streets in the city centre.
Child policy
Baby cots are for free, high chairs are available and, most of all, the child-loving staff is happy to go out of their way helping to make things as smooth as possible for you.
