Hotel Sant Jaume is a boutique hotel in Palma, on the island of Mallorca in Spain's Balearic Islands. It occupies a restored 16th-century palace in the city's historic centre, so guests stay within the old streets rather than on the outskirts.
The building
The hotel keeps the character of its origins. Its traditional Mallorcan architecture is the main draw, and the restoration has kept that heritage visible while bringing the rooms and facilities up to modern standards. It suits visitors who want the feel of an old palace without giving up contemporary comfort.
What it offers
- A boutique-scale stay, rather than a large resort
- A historic building with traditional island architecture
- Modern amenities within the restored palace
- A central location in Palma's old town, within walking distance of its historic streets
Is it for you?
Hotel Sant Jaume will appeal to travellers who value character and setting, and who plan to explore the city on foot. It is a good base for seeing Palma's historic centre at a relaxed pace. If you prefer beach-side resorts or large hotel facilities, a stay in the old town may feel quite different from what you expect, and it is worth weighing that before you book.
