What Sets Us Apart Among Luxury Hotels in Mallorca
A Pool You Didn’t See Coming
Palma has plenty of pools. But only one lies inside an ancient water cistern. This isn’t just a decorative curiosity — it’s a literal plunge into the building’s history.
Details That Don’t Ask for Attention (But Get It Anyway)
Televisions that vanish behind mirrors. Restored colonial furniture, cared for with quiet devotion. Nothing here shouts luxury — it simply lives it.
Perfectly Sized, Genuinely Personal
Fourteen rooms. No more, no less. And that changes everything. Here, we know your name, your preferences — even your silences. There are no crowds. No scripts. Just people, genuinely cared for.
Silence with Texture
The street is cobbled, the façades breathe centuries. And the silence… it’s not cold, nor solemn — it’s warm. Almost intimate. Like a quiet conversation with the city, just above a whisper.
Design That Doesn’t Pretend
Yes, there are objects with history. But also natural light, noble materials, and spaces that quietly invite you to stay. We’re not here to impress — just to make you feel genuinely at ease.
It’s Not Just Service — It’s a Different Way of Welcoming
At Glòria de Sant Jaume, we don’t follow empty protocols. Here, the welcome is genuine — not rehearsed.
Our team doesn’t recite — they listen. And every gesture, every detail, is designed for something simple yet rare: to make you feel at home… even when you’re far from it.
