Elegant modernist boutique hotel with pool & mountain views
Avinguda de la Gran Via, 9, 07100 Soller, Mallorca, Balearic Islands, Spain Get directions
"Occupying one of the elegant mansions built along Sóller’s tree–shaded Gran Via, the eight-room L’Avenida has the vibe of a swanky house party. The central white-marble staircase and mahogany railing are part of the original Art Nouveau design by Joan Rubio, a student of Gaudí, as are the pine doors and certain other decorative flourishes. And while the owners have given this place an edgy Rat Pack look—with black chandeliers, tufted leather headboards, dark oak parquet, contemporary art, and bold lighting fixtures—L’Avenida has a palpable old-world charm. Rooms are exceptionally spacious, with high ceilings and large windows; most still have the original moldings. The pool in the garden is lined with sun loungers upholstered in fuchsia canvas. With buckets of style and a friendly staff, L’Avenida makes Sóller very much part of the new generation of design hotels."
"This elegant hotel, located 2 minutes’ walk from the main square in Sóller, is 7 minutes from Puerto de Sóller Beach by tram. It has an outdoor pool and free Wi-Fi. Set in a 100 year-old mansion house, Hotel L’Avenida offers chic, eclectic interiors. All air-conditioned rooms have a flat-screen TV, wooden floors and large, comfortable beds. There is a CD and DVD player. Slippers are provided and most rooms have great mountain views. The Avenida’s seasonal pool has a sun terrace. There is also a shady gazebo in the secluded garden. L’Avenida Bistro serves al fresco lunches by the pool. The hotel also has a lounge bar balcony. Guests can easily visit Palma de Mallorca by taking the traditional wooden tram which connects Palma with Puerto de Sóller. Car rental and airport shuttle services are available." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"Since opening in 2007, L’Avenida has undoubtedly upheld the hip quota of Soller, the picturesque town on Mallorca's northwest coast. Surrounded by spectacular mountains, with cute cafés and funky boutiques on your doorstep and a sandy beach a tram ride away, the setting is stunning. But what makes this hotel really stand out is the visionary design and personal approach of founders Tania and Paul Slijper, who have added their own glamorous-chic styling to this Modernist mansion with great success. Etched glass doorways and an art nouveau reception desk sit next to contemporary-print wallpapers and urbane-chic Kartell lamps. A sweeping marble staircase leads to 12 elegant bedrooms, most featuring original frescoes on high ceilings, decadent chandeliers, Parisian fabrics, Bonnaccina chairs, luxurious Philippe Starck bathrooms and perfectly framed views of the Tramuntana peaks. To top it off, there's a charming courtyard pool with sail-covered gazebo. Highs An intriguing blend of early 20th- and 21st-century style and comfort Great location: just a 3-minute walk from Soller's pretty main square and a 10-minute tram ride to its scenic port and beach Most bedrooms have picturesque mountain views Sybaritic lounging by courtyard garden swimming pool with an all-day bar Excellent range of in-room spa treatments, including massages and manicures, and a well-equipped micro gym Lows During July and August, a morning children's summer camp operates next door - noise carries but the hotel offers alternative sunbathing at a nearby Port Soller hotel No private parking at the hotel but there's a public car park across the street Being in the town centre, the garden is surrounded by other buildings No children under 14 years, and no lift" - Aidan Forestier-Walker
"Islands and beaches are a classic combination, but sometimes it pays to head for the hills instead. In this case that means the hilltop town of Sóller, half an hour north of Palma de Mallorca, with a view out to sea over the northern coast of the island. It’s here, in an architecturally distinguished century-old townhouse, that L’Avenida makes its home. It’s elegant enough on the outside, but it’s somehow even more impressive inside, where period architectural details and an eclectic variety of furnishings and décor are unified by the keen eye of a skilled contemporary designer." - Tablet Hotels
