Palau Sa Font Boutique Hotel
Small, stylish, boutique hotel in Palma, near the marina
At the Hotel Palau Sa Font vibrant colours, modern artwork and designer furniture welcome guests to a hotel with charm and personality that offers a warm and familiar kind of service. The hotel has a real connection with its local neighbourhood from the local shop to the farmer supplying the organic olive oil.
If you think that a 16th century building with a historic background could be intriguing, if you like a warm, familiar atmosphere, and if you are attracted to architectural design contrasts and lack of ostentation and you prefer buying at the village shop rather than the shopping centre, then this hotel is the ideal spot! You will get the "old fashioned" kind of service with easy-going and charming staff, who have a real connection to the place.
The bedrooms are spread out on each level and are hip, yet calm and soothing offering a no-fuss environment where you can unwind amongst modern comforts, cleverly hidden behind aesthetic facades to add an uncluttered, sleek style. Each is as unique as the guests they attract.
You will find art displayed in a unique and subtle way throughout, with original handmade furniture and Mediterranean-shaded floors - all mixed with the convenience of staying in the heart of the old town, just two minutes from museums, restaurants and shops, but still secluded at the quiet end of a lively street.
This is an ideal place to recharge the batteries. The hotel offers to lend you as much or as little assistance as you desire, so that you feel looked after, but relaxed. And they love what they do, so they are always pleased to see regular guests, and also look forward to meeting new ones.
For yachtsmen and crew: if you are looking for a hotel near to Palma's marina, whilst avoiding the "corporate hotels" on the front, the Palau Sa Font is a 2-3 minute walk from the pontoons. Lastly, its worth a note to mention that the hotel has a reputation as one of the best breakfasts in town (non-guests by request only!)
