"Who knew that Scandinavian design could look so terrific under the full-strength Mediterranean sun? The clean, modern decor of this 41-room Swedish-owned hotel in the Old Town of Palma de Mallorca stands up to major rays, thanks to dark-blond streamlined furniture, ponyskin-covered ottomans, mocha-limestone bathrooms, and a sublime rooftop terrace with teak decking, a plunge pool, chaise longues, and drop-dead views of Palma’s cathedral. Thoughtful details include heated towel holders, a tasty room-service menu, a superb breakfast buffet, a sauna, and a bar/lounge with books. The stylish multilingual staff are charming, and the location on a quiet pedestrian street is perfect."
