Hotel Convent de la Missio

Stunning design hotel in a former 17th century convent

Convent de la Missio is tucked away down a lane in Palma's busy old quarter, so when you pass through its opaque glass entrance you will find its calm minimalist atmosphere a surprising contrast (even the reception desk is out of sight). The Mallorquin architect owners, have spent the last three years transforming this 17th century convent into Palma's most stylish and sophisticated hotel.

Inside the use of light and space is exceptional: the original high vaulted ceilings and limestone walls have been retained and fused with cutting edge design, natural materials and large windows. There's a sleek bar, a superb restaurant and a funky sitting room complete with bean bags, glossy design books and a log fire for winter evenings. The 14 cream and white bedrooms are light and airy with wafting muslin, pale oak floors and ultra-chic bathrooms. Other delights include a Zen-inspired roof terrace, a whirlpool and sauna down in the old crypt and an art gallery featuring ceramic and photo exhibitions.
