You will find Posada Terra Santa within a narrow alleyway a stone’s throw away from the buzzy centre of Palma de Mallorca, with the only thing resembling a hotel is their logo on their medieval façade with a Majorcan palatial courtyard. This boutique has recreated the forgotten splendour of the Boixador barons’ stately home dating back to 1576, combining their historic magnificence with the highest standard of 21st-century luxury, comfort, and design. With multiple lounge areas, a heated rooftop pool, and enough amenities to keep you indoors for a couple of days, you will be pat yourself on the back, knowing you selected well among the chaotic, irregular charm of the city’s historic quarter.
“I do not want guests to feel at home, I want them to feel like guests in mine,” says Carmen Cordón with her husband, Ignacio Jiménez of gleaming Posada Terra Santa, which opened its doors in 2014. Ignacio is the chief executive of business for the Occidental and Barceló hotel chains, and with great experience and expertise has summoned the best hotel ideas for this project. Carmen Cordón has a history of working in a press house and opening a restaurant in Madrid, which has encouraged her to open La Despensa del Barón within the hotel. They waited many years for the perfect hotel spot in Palma, wanting the location to be in a residential neighbourhood and offering a unique product away from other conventional hotels on the island.
