About Sant Francesc Hotel Singular
Sant Francesc Hotel Singular feels like a polished Palma hideaway rather than a grand, impersonal city stay. Set within a carefully restored 19th-century mansion, it pairs period details—think beams, decorative plasterwork and occasional frescoes—with contemporary art and restrained, elegant interiors. The mood is refined but easy-going, with a leafy inner courtyard for drinks and meals, and a rooftop terrace that is especially appealing when the city heat rises.
It occupies a peaceful square in Palma’s atmospheric old town, within an easy walk of the cathedral, Almudaina Palace, La Lonja and the Arab Baths. With only 42 rooms and suites, it suits couples and design-minded travellers who prefer a small hotel with personal service; it also works well for business visitors wanting a central base that remains calm after a busy day. Quadrat serves Mediterranean cooking, while the wellness cabins offer a quieter indulgence. Parking is available nearby through the hotel’s valet arrangement.
Guests regularly single out the helpful, warm team and the immaculate, generously sized rooms. They also love the rooftop pool and bar, the courtyard ambience and the convenience of being so close to Palma’s landmarks without feeling surrounded by bustle. A few note that certain extras can add to the bill, but most regard the overall experience as a particularly worthwhile Palma stay.
