Gran Hotel Soller, Soller

Pre-book the small hotel car park, especially when hiring a car; town parking is difficult, and staff can park your vehicle in the tight spaces.

Request a rear-facing mountain-view room for greater quiet, impressive scenery, and a good chance of having a balcony.

Book a room with a private balcony or terrace, preferably toward the back of the hotel.

Request accommodation in the original hotel building, where rooms are generally considered nicer than those in the annexe.

Choose a front-facing room for afternoon sun and potentially more space, with front-garden views available.

Book hotel restaurant tables in advance, particularly for dinner or when dining in Sóller, as popular options are limited.

Try the restaurant’s evening set menu.

Ask for room 317; it is on the top floor near the pool and has an exceptional hillside outlook.

Request room 107 for its large private patio.
