"Cristine Bedfor is presented as the third—and chicest—hotel from one of Spain’s coolest brands, contributing to Seville’s growing luxury inventory." - Olivia Morelli
"In the capital of Mahón, this is one of the most creative, high-concept design hotels in our collection." - The MICHELIN Guide
"Quirky and full of passion, this 21-room boutique in Mahon’s historic center channels the fictional English muse of owner Cristina Lozano into a bohemian design oasis built around a flourishing garden. The feel is an English countryside bed-and-breakfast with more on offer: a pool, bar, restaurant, spa treatments, a corner shop, and grab-and-go beach kits, all with the intimate, personal touch of one woman’s dreamy inn. Lozano personally handpicks antiques and English-influenced artwork (portraits and floral prints) from Menorca, Madrid, and Paris, then interior designer Lorenzo Castillo artfully blends the eclectic finds; ask about her three beloved El Rastro tapestries—a horse, the sea, and a party—and watch her light up. Local chef Pau Sintes serves breakfast, brunch, and cocktails in the garden, meals at the Pool Bar, and dinners on the patio, highlighting locally sourced Mediterranean fare like Mahon cheese, figs, honey, sausage, octopus, squid, and the freshest catches of the day. Guests include couples, friends, locals, and international travelers who appreciate high-quality design and a friendly, personal vibe; rooms are uniquely decorated, mostly for two, with suites adding a couch and easy adjoining options for larger parties. Open year-round except January and February, it’s an ideal base to get to know Menorca, and the team may even recommend a guided walking tour at the start of your stay. Sustainability runs deep, from a garden of native, lower-water plants to collaborations with the Menorca Preservation foundation supporting local producers and responsible consumption. It’s a delightfully fanciful operation where guests quickly become friends—and return again and again." - Mitchell Friedman
"Set in the capital city of Menorca (the least tourist-heavy of the three biggest Balearic islands) is a boutique exceptional for its design. In a historic building in the center of Mahón, it’s the perfect setting for a hotel full of personality and care, a wonderful introduction to the what makes Menorca a must-visit destination, even outside the picturesque beaches. It’s such a special place, we had to interview the owner, here (scroll to the bottom for our tips on visiting Menorca)." - The MICHELIN Guide
"On Minorca, check out Key hotels like Torralbenc, a tasteful, intimate, high-end hotel built from the bones of an old farm; or, in the capital of Mahón, look at Cristine Bedfor — one of the most creative, high-concept design hotels in our collection." - The MICHELIN Guide
