Puro Grand Hotel

Style

Moorish-Mallorcan mix

Setting

La Lonja locale

It’s been a while since James I and his troops conquered ‘Medina Mayurqa’, but their Moorish legacy remains hidden in the nooks of Puro Grand Hotel and shows no signs of leaving any time soon. The hotel’s architects unearthed a bounty of beams, some inscribed with 12th-century Arabian messages and others with the royal family’s crest (replicating those found in nearby La Seu Cathedral). But it’s Catalan designer Làzaro Rosa-Violàn who’s brought the beams (and more) to life in these 16 minimalist rooms, the grand arched restaurant and laid-back living space. Throw in terracotta exteriors, hand-woven rugs and a lantern-lined staircase and Puro feels right at home in Palma’s chronicled Old Town.

Our Favourite Rooms

Room 11 (one of the Essence suites) is where you’ll find the wealth of ancient Arabic engravings, but all rooms at Puro Grand Hotel have hints of these original features, warmed with gentle lighting, woven-locally tapestries and neutral tones.

Spa

Bask in the delights of the holistic spa. Therapists blend apitherapy, phytotherapy, hydroptherapy and aromatherapy across rejuvenating messages and bespoke facials, using natural ingredients. Once suitably pampered, linger a little longer in the Finnish sauna or Turkish bath. Palacio Can Marqués. Pop over to Puro Grand's sister hotel, Palacio Can Marqués, just 80 metres away, to work up a sweat in the gym.

Packing Tips

History buffs need not bring anything but their passion; for the rest of you, a willingness to learn and a love for design.

Hotel Restaurant

Where red booths line tapestried walls and pendants swing from arched entries, you’ll find chef Leon Altamiro hard at work helming Beatnik Restaurant’s open kitchen. Live music adds to the atmosphere from Thursday to Saturday. Menus are Mediterranean-based with global influences woven through sharing-style dishes. There’s also a Neapolitan-style pizza oven for those craving something a little simpler.

Hotel Bar

Beatnik’s bar is attached to the restaurant, but during the summer cocktails are usually taken out to the courtyard.

Worth Getting Out of Bed For

There are plenty of places to wander in Palma’s Old Town. Keep the history class going by heading to the Gothic La Seu Cathedral and roaming the cobblestone streets of the ancient Arabic quarter to the Palace of the Almudaina, once home to the city’s Moorish rulers. The garden-enclosed Arab Bath House also isn’t far. Shopping fiends need look no further than the designer boutiques that line Passeig del Born and beach bums can sip sangrias by the waves at Purobeach Palma or Purobeach Illetas, both a 20-minute drive from the hotel. There are plenty of tapas bars and food markets (Mercado 1930 is a fan favourite) for the gourmands, and the hotel can arrange a tour around Treurer Finca, one of the region’s famed olive-oil farms, that includes an oil and wine tasting. Otherwise, Puro has electric bikes that are free to borrow, so pedal where you please.
