Palma
Nordic minimalism inside a Mediterranean medieval palace. Sober earth tones — white, beige, warm grey, brown — and tactile natural materials like wool, leather, and limestone meet centuries of history. Public spaces lean eclectic and vivid; rooms are quiet and restrained.
Ask reception for a tour of the building's history — they're known for giving it as part of the welcome
Why It Matters
One of Palma's oldest buildings, Michelin Key 2025 recipient, Prix Versailles award winner, and member of Design Hotels. The visible 12th-century Muslim palace structure — including original patios and a Alfarje ceiling with Arabic calligraphy that survived fire and earthquake — makes this architecturally one-of-a-kind. Small enough (37 rooms) to feel like a private house.
Opened in summer 2023, Nobis Hotel Palma puts 37 rooms inside a 12th-century Muslim palace in the heart of Palma's Old Town. The building has lived through at least seven architectural lifetimes — fire, earthquake, Christian conquest, Gothic rebuild, Baroque reform — and the architects didn't try to erase any of it. Instead, Wingårdhs (the award-winning Swedish firm) layered clean Scandinavian design over original stone walls, vaulted ceilings, and a paneled wooden Alfarje ceiling with Arabic calligraphy that survived both a 13th-century fire and an earthquake. The result is genuinely striking: DUX beds and Bang & Olufsen speakers in rooms where medieval arches frame the doorways.
Where You'll Stay
9 room types available
Can Oliver Suite
At 84 sqm, the largest standard suite and the one for families or groups — it sleeps up to four and has views in two directions: garden one way, sun terrace the other. Two bathrooms with Spanish limestone and bathtub plus walk-in shower. Comes with a sofa bed, dining table, separate seating area, and a very generous amenities package including airport transfer and complimentary minibar stocked with 100% local Mallorcan products.
King (180cm DUX) with sofa bed · 84 sqm
Courtyard Suite
One of four suites at Nobis Hotel Palma. Individual shape and size customized to the historic building's original construction. Overlooks the hotel's serene inner courtyard — a preserved element of the original Muslim palace layout.
King · 43 sqm
Deluxe Room
Entry-level room at 22–28 sqm — genuinely on the small side, as reviewers note. But the quality of finish punches far above the size: DUX king bed with a custom Carl Hansen frame, Byredo toiletries, Bang & Olufsen speaker, and a walk-in shower in Spanish limestone. King bed and armchair. Note that some rooms have internal stairs.
King (180cm DUX with Carl Hansen frame) · 25 sqm
Junior Suite
Compact suite option at Nobis Hotel Palma, shaped around the historic building's original structure. All the Wingårdhs-designed materials and finishes — limestone, wool, leather — in a more accessible size and price point than the full suites.
King
Nobis Suite
The flagship suite at over 100 sqm, with a 51 sqm living room featuring original 15th-century Gothic arches. Views of the historic church next door. A private terrace comes with its own lemon tree. Designed for intimate gatherings or quiet indulgence, it has an Elephant Chair from Tacchini and a sofa from Arflex.
King · 100 sqm
Rooftop Suite
The suite with the best view in the house. Private terrace looks straight at La Seu Cathedral — one of Palma's most iconic sights. Character attic ceilings and internal stairs add to the charm (and the caveats — check before booking if low ceilings or stairs are a concern). Cava and seasonal fruit on arrival, room service breakfast included.
King (180cm DUX with Carl Hansen custom frame) · 51 sqm
Suite
Four suites at the property, ranging 40–46 sqm. Each has a unique shape dictated by the 12th-century building's bones. Sober palette from white and beige to warm grey and brown. King bed, two armchairs or armchair and sofa, Spanish limestone bathroom.
King (180cm DUX) · 43 sqm
Superior Attic Room
Superior-grade room with distinctive attic character — lower ceilings, angled rooflines, and the architectural quirks that come from living inside a centuries-old building. Same quality finishes as the Superior.
KingSuperior Room
The entry room at 17–22 sqm. These are genuinely small — no getting around it. That said, the finish is identical to the Deluxe: DUX king bed, Carl Hansen custom frame, Byredo toiletries, Bang & Olufsen speaker, walk-in shower with Spanish limestone. Great value for a solo traveler or couple who plans to spend most of their time out in the city.
