What guests mention

huge bathtub larger suite exceptional hospitality wonderful recommendations perfect stay cocktail bar la bodeguilla unique hotel breakfast team breakfast spread sister hotel location is amazing

Guests are especially taken with Palma Riad’s richly styled, individual suites, spotless presentation and small-hotel sense of care. The central setting makes exploring the old town easy, yet many find it pleasantly calm once back inside. Staff earn frequent praise for warm hospitality, breakfast service and well-judged dining suggestions, while the bar and indulgent bathrooms add to the experience. The main reservation is cost: a few guests consider it expensive, though most feel the memorable design and service make it worthwhile.

About Palma Riad

Palma Riad feels more like a private city hideaway than a conventional hotel. Opened in 2022, this adults-only, five-star address has just 11 individually designed suites, each with its own character and a distinctly theatrical sense of style. Expect lavish details, beautiful bathrooms and, in selected suites, a fireplace; some rooms also make a strong case for lingering with their generously sized bathtubs. The intimate cocktail bar adds to the after-dark appeal.

Set in Palma’s lively central quarter, the hotel places the old town, boutiques, restaurants and major sights within easy walking distance. Despite being right in the action, it is suited to couples and design-minded city-break travellers who want a quieter place to return to after exploring. It is especially well placed for a romantic weekend, honeymoon stay or a polished base for making the most of Palma’s dining scene.

Guests regularly single out the thoughtful, welcoming service, including useful restaurant tips and local recommendations. They love the immaculate finish, striking rooms, restful nights and the attentive breakfast team, while the location is often described as a real advantage. Rates can feel steep to some, but most visitors come away feeling the distinctive atmosphere and personal hospitality justify the splurge.
