Pros
  • The location is superb for exploring Old Town Palma, as you'll be near the Marina, Llotja building, and Passeig del Born. 
  • As a small hotel with only nine rooms, it feels quite intimate and calm. Plus, you'll be in a historic building from the 17th century and can enjoy a few charming elements. 
  • The suites are quite big, with larger seating areas, fireplaces, and private terraces with sun loungers and umbrellas. 
  • If you're after a classic vintage feel, you'll likely love the bathrooms, which feature unique tiling—and some rooms even have tiled stairs leading to the bathroom. 
  • You can relax on the sundeck or the outdoor pool, which is nestled into the hotel's inner courtyard and offers really nice views of the surrounding buildings.
Cons
  • The daily breakfast is a little simple, with mostly store-bought items, like packaged yogurt, toast, meat, and cheese. 
  • The bedding and decor in some rooms are a little more outdated than in others. 

Authenticity

Hotel San Lorenzo is the city's very first boutique hotel, set in a 17th-century manor house in the heart of Old Town Palma. The rooms certainly maintain this history and charm, with vaulted and beamed ceilings, antique furnishings, fireplaces, and large windows opening up to the building's garden terrace. 

Location

Set on a quiet, narrow stone street, Hotel San Lorenzo is just three minutes from the city's famous Llotja building and nine minutes from the Catedral de Mallorca. You'll also be just five minutes from the picturesque Passeig de Born, 11 minutes from Placa Major, and 20 minutes from the start of the city's beach, Platja de Can Pere Antoni. You can easily explore the city on foot and enjoy the numerous eateries and shops in the area. 

Rooms & Bathrooms

Even the standard rooms provide spacious lodgings with perks like French balconies overlooking the street or inner courtyard. Superior rooms add a little extra space and direct access to the property's garden or outdoor pool area. And to really enjoy the historical character of Mallorca, you can book the suite, which adds a beautiful curved fireplace and private terrace. All have large beds with antique frames, seating areas, air conditioning, coffee makers, and bathrooms with vintage tiling.

The San Lorenzo is an absolute gem and the women who run it are wonderful. The breakfast was artistic, delicious and filling with many specialty foods - something for everyone in the family. The building is incredibly charming and location fantastic for finding restaurants and walking over to the more touristy parts of town. There is no parking at the hotel, but we managed well with a combination of street parking and a parking garage just a few blocks away. Read more
