Palacio Ca Sa Galesa

A former palace that has been restored to a hotel with great care and attention to detail. The design and furnishings effectively blend the original design of the building with modern touches that make it a very comfortable place to stay. The location is right in the heart of old Palma near to the Cathedral but in a quiet backstreet with limited traffic. The staff and service were friendly, helpful with bookings and travel advice and very professional. Special thanks to the Andre (the effervescent and charming Brazilian chef), Ivan on the front desk, Manual the Spanish chef for giving my wife his amazing homemade chilli oil and Francesco for his great coffees! We stayed as a family with our 20 month daughter - and she absolutely loved the place (especially the piano in the hall)!

I’ve been coming to this gem in Old Palma maybe half a dozen times and love it . Hadn’t been admittedly for over 5 years and booked and welcomed by the utterly fabulous Pedro who seems to be in charge and a really enthusiastic welcoming team - Francesco , Mati , all of the reception and housekeeping staff superb as was the talented and charismatic chef . Chauffeur drive to and from airport excellent too and all seem-less via Pedro . The roof terrace is still such a unique feature as you almost touch the Cathedral windows although could be even more special ( showers seem to have gone & less luxury ) . I did feel that the hotel had lost something of its wow factor in terms of a true Spanish merchant house with wonderful art and incredible first floor public areas . The lovely traditional kitchen and honesty bar have gone and there are actually many gaps from where previously outstanding art was displayed . I spoke to a local nearby who mentioned that the hotel has been sold over last few years after being closed for most of pandemic - this might well all add up. All I would say is , still very special and myself and friends will go back but , whilst I accept renovations must occur , be careful that this wonder testament to Mallorca architecture, style and appreciation of art doesn’t get lost . Such a special place which I do accept needs the ‘ right ‘ & subtle investment here and there but Bravo Pedro & Team , great job !
