Palacio Can Marques MAJORCA, SPAIN
Palacio Can Marques is a luxurious five-star boutique hotel located in an impressive 18th- century palace in the enchanting old town of Palma, on the beautiful Balearic island of Majorca, which is part of Spain
Palacio Can Marques charms guests with its historic patio, garden, rooftop terraces and 13 luxury, individually designed suites. Palacio Can Marques is the most singular
house in the neighbourhood, thanks in no small part to its covered courtyard and the inverted imperial staircase. This classical, magnificent Majorcan mansion is a sign of the island’s manorial Baroque style. It has monumental high- ceilinged spaces and alabaster columns with capitals and portholes that bring light to every corner.
LOCATION Palma is the capital city of the Spanish Mediterranean island of Majorca, which is the largest of the Balearic Islands. The so- called ‘pearl of the Mediterranean’ includes the vibrant city centre and the main shopping street of Avenida Jaime III, the historic old town, the popular tourist zone La Lonja, the trendy area of Santa Catalina, the lively
seafront strip along Paseo Marítimo, the traditional fishing neighbourhood of Portixol and Playa de Palma, and the exclusive hillside golf area of Son Vida. Tucked away down a narrow street, behind
a discreet entrance, the hotel is within walking distance of international, well-known marinas on the Paseo Maritimo such as the Real Club Nautico de Palma, STP and Club de Mar. The hotel is also perfectly placed for sightseeing — just a short walk away is the Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art of Palma or the numerous art galleries, restaurants and chic boutiques.
ACCOMMODATION History swirls around the cobblestones and windows of Palacio Can Marques, a destination designed with inquisitive, modern, luxury travellers and yachtsmen in mind. Guests will experience a warm welcome in a Majorcan mansion, offering stylish heritage and warm
hospitality. The listed 18th-century residence features elegant interiors by Aline Matsika, an internationally recognised interior designer. She has created an eclectic and authentic collection of furniture, artwork and paintings. The building’s original features, however, remain intact and antique furnishings sit alongside the latest technolog, with an indisputable air of comfort, glamour and unparalleled space. The entire property exudes a sense of
comfort, traditional charm and tranquillity. Beyond the lobby, stroll along the covered patio with its 36ft-high ceilings and gothic alabaster columns. Have a seat in the interior garden where shade is provided by palm, cherry and fig trees, or enjoy the fresh sea breeze on the roof terrace overlooking the city’s stunning cathedral. Take a rest in the living suite library, with its glamorous decor, which includes antiques and curiosities from the hotel’s vibrant, eclectic past.
The 13 suites are individually designed and
evoke the warmth and intimacy of the private residence it once was, with careful attention to detail throughout the hotel. Each suite has individually designed chandeliers from Murano in Italy and handwoven carpets.
