The hype
Travelers love the modern design, the rooftop vibe, and the breakfast spread, but many feel the standard rooms are too cramped for the price.
Hm Palma Blanc Hotel
$150-250/ noche
Reserva esto si You want a sleek, eco-conscious base within walking distance of Palma's best tapas bars but don't need a beach on your doorstep.
Por qué a la gente le encanta
- Walking distance to the trendy Santa Catalina neighborhood
- Rooftop pool with city views (a rare find in this price bracket)
- Aromata restaurant by Michelin-starred chef Andreu Genestra
Resumen rápido: A stylish, modern city hotel that nails the 'urban oasis' vibe but struggles with small rooms and some baffling bathroom design flaws.
Reseñado por @ablondetourist: I discovered this hidden underground spa right in the hotel and it was the ultimate escape. The moody lighting and silence were pure bliss after a busy day in Palma. It felt like my own private sanctuary away from the crowds—absolutely worth booking just for this vibe.

Consejos de Insiders
- ✨
The 'Cinema Room' is mostly for private events, so don't book expecting to watch movies every night unless there's a scheduled screening.
- ✨
Ask for a 'Superior' room specifically to get a better bathroom layout; standard rooms often have the sink in the bedroom area.
- ✨
The lobby bar is open later than the rooftop bar – head there for a nightcap.
5 cosas que debes saber antes de ir
💡The shower doors in many rooms are not sealed well, leading to mini-floods in the bathroom.
💡The 'Cinema' is a cool feature on paper but rarely used for casual guest movie nights.
💡You might have to wear a swimming cap in the indoor spa pool (common in Spain, but catches tourists off guard).
💡The elevators can be slow during peak breakfast hours.
💡There is a sustainable tourism tax payable upon arrival, which is standard for the Balearics but often forgotten.
