The Old Town is somewhat further: you reach the Plaça Major in about 20 minutes on foot, the Passeig del Born in about 25 and Palma Cathedral (La Seu) in about half an hour. The airport is about 8 km away; a taxi is better to go or return.

On the ground floor there are an à la carte restaurant and a café bar. Breakfast can be continental or à la carte. For guests travelling by car, the hotel has private parking.

- Travellers who want to dine at the hotel after a day of excursions.
Good to know
Check-in is from 14:00 to 22:30, and you must tell the hotel in advance what time you will arrive. If your flight lands late, confirm beforehand. Check-out is from 06:00 to 11:00, an hour earlier than at many hotels. It is not stated whether parking carries a charge: ask when you book.
