At Ocho Suites, we love to share our top boutique hotel picks on the island, and Sant Francesc Hotel Singular in Palma’s old town is one of those rare places that embodies quiet luxury and refined beauty. Located on Plaça de Sant Francesc, just across from the magnificent 13th-century Basilica of Sant Francesc, this five-star boutique hotel perfectly captures the essence of historic Palma — elegant, artistic, and full of soul.

A RESTORED 19TH-CENTURY MANSION WITH CONTEMPORARY DESIGN

Housed in a meticulously restored 19th-century mansion, the hotel blends classical architecture with contemporary design. High ceilings, original frescoes, and graceful archways are paired with warm modern touches, creating a space that feels both grand and inviting. With 42 rooms and suites, each individually styled, the interiors feature soft neutral tones, fine linens, and curated artwork by local and international artists. The atmosphere is one of understated sophistication — quiet enough for reflection, yet filled with light and life.

The rooftop terrace is one of our favorite spots in Palma where we always go with friends — a serene hideaway above the city with a beautiful pool and sweeping views over the church and terracotta rooftops. It’s the perfect place for a morning swim, an afternoon siesta, or a glass of cava at sunset as church bells ring softly in the background.

QUEADRAT RESTAURANT AND GARDEN: MEDITERRANEAN DINING IN A HIDDEN COURTYARD

Downstairs, the hotel’s Quadrat Restaurant & Garden offers a refined dining experience that celebrates Mediterranean flavors with creative flair. Set in the mansion’s former stables and extending into a leafy courtyard, it’s ideal for a romantic dinner or a long, leisurely lunch under the palms. The Lobby Bar and Patio is equally inviting — perfect for cocktails or a quiet espresso while soaking in the timeless ambiance of this remarkable building.

What makes Sant Francesc Hotel Singular truly special is its sense of place. Every detail, from the soft light filtering through old shutters to the scent of citrus from the courtyard, connects you to Palma’s history while offering all the comforts of modern luxury.

ONE OF THE BEST BOUTIQUE HOTELS IN PALMA

For travelers seeking elegance, intimacy, and impeccable design at the very heart of the old town, Sant Francesc is a destination in itself — one that stays with you long after you leave and for sure one of the best boutique hotels in Palma.
