Summum Boutique Hotel, member of Meliá Collection
Sophisticated urban palace hotel. Think high ceilings, dim lighting, artful silence — not beach-resort energy. The bones are Gothic, the service is contemporary, and the design is quietly luxe rather than ostentatious.
Book the rooftop sun terrace in advance — it's bookable upon request for exclusive private use and fills up fast in summer.
Why It Matters
One of Palma's smallest luxury properties (18 rooms total), it sits inside an actual 16th-century Mallorcan palace. The headline room — the Parietti Suite — has a ceiling fresco painted by 19th-century Mallorcan artist Francesc Parietti and comes with a Porsche Macan S for guests' exclusive use. The basement wellness spa operates inside the palace's original underground cistern, open 24 hours. That combination of genuine heritage architecture with properly personal service is rare.
A 15th-century Mallorcan noble palace turned 18-room luxury hotel in the heart of Palma's old town. The Can Berga-Ladària Palace was built in 1570, overhauled in 1874, and then completely reimagined in 2017 by interior designer Elvira Blanco — the result is a hotel that keeps the stone arches, vaulted cisterns, and centuries-old frescoes, but layers in Egyptian cotton sheets, Nespresso machines, and a 16th-century underground spa. Just 18 rooms, so service is dialed in to a degree that bigger hotels genuinely cannot match.
Where You'll Stay
5 room types available
Singular Junior Suite
One of the standout mid-tier rooms. The high ceiling is a genuine Mallorcan old-town original — that kind of architectural detail you simply can't replicate in new builds. The room has a separate relaxation area with a chester sofa and a private balcony.
King-size · 37 sqm
Singular Room
Decorated in soft island tones with a chester sofa relaxation area. The 600-thread-count cotton sheets return here, and the room has that quiet, unhurried feel that Mallorca does well when it's not trying too hard.
King-size · 29 sqm
Style Room
The entry-level room, and it punches above its weight. City views, 600-thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets, a Nespresso machine, and local organic products in the minibar. The bathrooms feature unique local amenities and a pillow menu (fibre, gel, or feather) lets you dial in your sleep setup.
King-size · 25 sqm
Style Room with Terrace
Same quality as the Style Room but with a private furnished terrace looking out over the patio. A genuinely nice spot for morning coffee or an evening glass of wine without leaving your room.
King-size · 30 sqm
Suite Parietti
The hotel's showpiece. A 50m² suite under a ceiling fresco painted by 19th-century Mallorcan artist Francesc Parietti — a member of the Palma Academy of Fine Arts. There's a private balcony, a dedicated relaxation area, and a freestanding bathtub in the bathroom. Guests in this suite also get a Porsche Macan S for their exclusive use during their stay. Completely over-the-top in the best possible way.
