A DESIGN EXPERIENCE IN PALMA’S HISTORIC CENTRE
Located in the heart of Palma de Mallorca, 200 metres from Palma Port, Sant Jaume Design Hotel features a free spa centre for private use with an indoor pool and sauna. There is an outdoor plunge pool on the rooftop terrace.
The hotel’s main draw is its sleek, light-filled interior with beautifully designed rooms and comfortable shared spaces. Then there is the jasmine-scented rooftop terrace, the hotel’s jewel. Relaxing on the sun-dappled terrace, surrounded by birdsong and ornamental hedges, you’ll find it hard to believe you’re in the heart of the city.
Another draw is the 18th-century mansion’s location: a tranquil cobbled alley and pocket of peace amidst the bustle of Palma. The ideal city base, Sant Jaume combines the best of both worlds so you can soak up the delights of the city’s thrilling centre one moment and the hotel’s deliciously chilled vibe the next.
The hotel's restaurant serves Mediterranean cuisine and tapas.
Each room at this hotel is air conditioned and comes with a flat-screen TV. The rooms come with a private bathroom with bathrobes, slippers, free toiletries, a hairdryer with diffuser and a hairstraightener.
There is a 24-hour front desk at the property. The hotel has a fitness centre.

Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 10 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Sant Jaume Design Hotel suits couples who want private wellness time in the middle of Palma, just 200 metres from the port. Its spa, with an indoor pool and sauna, is free for guests and booked for private use, and a jasmine-scented rooftop terrace adds an outdoor plunge pool above the city. The interior is sleek and full of light, and the restaurant serves Mediterranean dishes and tapas, so dinner can stay in-house after a day around the old town and marina. Keen swimmers should look elsewhere, though: both pools are compact, better suited to cooling off than to swimming lengths.
Guests score it 9.3 out of 10 — the average across the 54 hotels we list on Mallorca is 9.1.
What Guests Loved
- Guests can book the indoor pool and sauna for private use at no extra cost, offering a rare degree of privacy for a wellness break within a city hotel.
- The jasmine-scented rooftop features a small plunge pool, giving travelers a quiet spot to cool off and take in views above Palma's rooftops.
Things to Consider
- The pools here are compact — an indoor spa pool and a rooftop plunge pool — better suited to relaxation than swimming lengths.
- Like most hotels in Palma's historic center, on-site parking is limited or unavailable; guests with rental cars should plan for nearby public garages.
Should you book it?
Sant Jaume Design Hotel is worth booking for couples wanting a private spa and rooftop plunge pool — but pick somewhere else if you want a large pool for swimming laps.

Rooms & which one to pick
Our tip: If you're a couple after the best value, book the Standard Room (20 m², queen bed) or Deluxe Room (25 m², king bed) — both have the same amenities as the pricier options. Couples wanting more space should go for the Suite with Terrace (40 m², king bed) or Junior Suite with Terrace (35 m², king bed), which offer the largest floor area of the range. All rooms sleep only 2, so none suit larger groups or families.

Reviews from Google“I really wanted to leave a review because I had an excellent stay at this hotel. 🙂 The room was of a very high standard. For me, the bed and the shower are two of the most important things when choosing a hotel, and I have to say that I was absolutely delighted with both. I also really appreciated having a hair straightener in addition to the hairdryer. Even though I had brought my own, I think this is a fantastic extra touch! I thoroughly enjoyed both my breakfasts and dinners. The dishes were served in smaller portions, which made it possible to try several different things, while still being very satisfying. The food was delicious. I would also like to warmly thank the staff for their kindness and the wonderful welcome. This is something that is particularly important to me and really contributes to the overall quality of a stay. A big thank you as well to the housekeeping team: my room was always spotlessly clean, and I never lacked anything during my stay. Finally, a special thank you to Shemir, Alicia, Mark, Marisa, Jordi, and the entire team for their warm welcome and professionalism. I would not hesitate to stay here again and would happily recommend this hotel. 😊”
“Fantastic hotel! The rooms are absolutely beautiful, spacious, and impeccably maintained. The location is perfect and makes it easy to enjoy everything Palma has to offer. The reception team is incredibly friendly, welcoming, and professional. A special thank you to Alicia and Chris for the wonderful room upgrade. It made our stay even more memorable. Outstanding service from start to finish. We will definitely be back!”
“Outstanding hotel in the heart of Palma. The service was genuinely exceptional: warm, proactive, and effortlessly efficient. From restaurant bookings to a late checkout and even a surprise birthday cake, every request was handled seamlessly. It’s the sort of personalized hospitality that many larger luxury hotels strive for but rarely deliver this consistently. A special thank you to Alicia, Giovanna, and Maria at the front desk, whose professionalism, warmth, and attention to detail made our stay particularly memorable. Every interaction was friendly, thoughtful, and genuinely helpful. The location is perfect: central yet quiet, on one of Palma’s most charming streets. The rooftop terrace is a peaceful retreat for sunbathing or a quick swim after exploring the city. We had a fantastic long weekend and would highly recommend Sant Jaume Design Hotel.”
“Honestly….a great find in probably Palma’s best old town road. We booked two rooms quite by chance as we would normally stay at Hospes. The price of the rooms was incredibly reasonable and included breakfast to our surprise (we were too last minute to book a suite so got Delux rooms). Right from pre arrival, the experience was incredible and location cannot be beaten. Interior decor is very stylish and elegant and all staff very friendly and attentive. The roof terrace which has a small plunge pool is well decked for relaxing and sun bathing. We were also really taken by the internal pool sauna set up. This has to be booked for exclusive use and is cleaned down for your visit. It was incredibly relaxing and felt very indulgent without the usual awkwardness of sharing with strangers. My son used the gym…small but has everything you need. Would be tight for more than 1 person to use but that never happened during our stay and he used it twice a day for 4 days. Also worth highlighting was the quality of the breakfast…amazing dining space but the food from the fresh bread and pastries to fruit and cooked elements was easily amongst the best we have experienced (almost anywhere in the world). The staff remembered my allergies throughout our stay too. Overall, an amazing surprise in every respect…location, building, team, food, room, etc. Only very very minor grumble…we asked for an extra bed for our 7 year old to stay in our room instead of staying with his adult brother and this was quite expensive at a (reduced) 100 euros a night despite being a booked in guest - this is a very minor grumble though as they did set up a proper single bed rather than a trickle arrangement.”
“A wonderful stay from start to finish! The hotel is beautiful, cozy, and perfectly located, making it easy to explore the area. Everyone on the team was incredibly kind, warm, and welcoming. We felt genuinely cared for throughout our stay, and every interaction was filled with kindness and professionalism. A special thank you to Mark, Jordi, Alejandro, Maria, and Alicia. Your hospitality made our experience truly memorable. We hope to return soon! Marina and Murilo.”
