Hotel Tres, Palma

Hotel Tres is a 41-room boutique hotel in the heart of Palma's old town, occupying a restored 16th-century palace in the La Lonja district, one of the most characterful quarters of the historic city. La Lonja sits between the Gothic Exchange building — one of the finest examples of Catalan Gothic civil architecture in Spain — and the old fishing harbour, placing the hotel within easy walking distance of the seafront promenade, the Cathedral, and Palma's best-regarded independent restaurants. The building's conversion has retained the original stone facade, a grand central courtyard that now functions as a light-filled lobby and reception area, and several rooms with original vaulted ceilings and carved stonework. The 41 rooms across multiple floor categories range from standard doubles to suites, with the upper-floor rooms commanding the best views of Palma's terracotta roofscape and the distant bay. The signature feature is the rooftop pool and terrace, which offers panoramic views across the old city to the Cathedral and the sea, making it one of the most atmospheric places in Palma for an evening drink. The terrace also serves breakfast, enabling guests to start the day with the cathedral silhouette before the city fully wakes. A ground-floor restaurant delivers modern Mediterranean cooking in a relaxed atmosphere. The hotel's La Lonja location is particularly convenient for the cluster of excellent restaurants on Carrer Sant Joan and for the Santa Catalina neighbourhood's food market, both within a 10-minute walk.
