Can Bordoy Grand House & Garden
Gothic-palace-meets-Art-Deco decadence. Dark wood floors, bottle-green velvet chairs, Jazz playing softly in the background, ivy creeping over chandeliers, Baroque mirrors alongside mid-century custom furnishings. Theatrical and romantic, but not stuffy.
Book direct for the best rate — the hotel offers up to 15% off plus a €50 massage credit, free spa suite access, and rooftop access
Why It Matters
One of the only all-suite luxury hotels in Palma's Old Quarter, with the largest private garden in the neighbourhood. Won World's Leading All Suite Hotel 2021 at the World Travel Awards. Named to Condé Nast Traveler's Reader's Choice as one of the 20 best hotels in Spain and Portugal. The rooftop glass-bottom plunge pool with views over Palma Cathedral has become one of the most photographed spots in the city.
A restored 16th-century palace sitting on a quiet backstreet in Palma's La Lonja quarter — and nothing about the modest stone facade prepares you for what's inside. Past the front door is one of the city's largest private walled gardens, a heated pool, antique-filled salons dripping in velvet, and 24 bespoke suites serviced by personal butlers. The building itself has 12th-century stone walls at its foundations. It feels more like staying in the private house of some exquisitely tasteful collector than checking into a hotel.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Deluxe Suite
At 45m², the Deluxe Suite is where things start feeling genuinely spacious. Original 16th-century high ceilings, marble bathrooms with a freestanding tub integrated into the room itself (not tucked behind a wall), and the full velvet-and-antiques treatment. Reviewers consistently call this the sweet spot for value within the property.
King · 45 sqm
Grand Suite
The flagship room at 80m², looking directly over the hotel's signature walled garden — the largest private garden in Palma's old quarter. Grand by name, genuinely grand in feel: soaring ceilings, the most impressive antique furnishings in the house, and butler service that covers everything from Botànic room service to in-suite champagne at turndown.
King · 80 sqmJunior Suite
A step up in space at 35m², with either a patio-interior view or a view over Palma's old town. Some units access the upper floors via a spiral staircase, which is worth flagging if mobility matters. The design follows the house aesthetic: Art Deco headboards, vintage credenza minibar, smart bath amenities in local ceramics.
King · 35 sqmPremium Suite
Fifty-five square metres of theatrical luxury. Bathtubs are integrated directly into the room for the full cinematic effect. Majestic curtains section off the space. The king-size bed lets each side set its own mattress firmness, which is a very Can Bordoy detail. A custom-made wooden cabinet serves as the minibar and plays background music.
King · 55 sqmSky Suite
The most dramatic address in the building: 53m² of suite plus a 67m² private rooftop terrace with unobstructed views over Palma Cathedral and the old-town skyline. If you want the Instagram-famous rooftop experience all to yourself, this is the room. Comes with the full butler and amenities package.
King · 120 sqmTraveler Room
The entry point into the Can Bordoy world — and at 24m², it is compact. But the design does a lot of heavy lifting: antique pieces, velvet, a king-sized bed with adjustable firmness on each side, smart LED TV, and floor-level shower. Soundproofed windows keep the street outside where it belongs. Same butler access as larger suites.
