El Llorenç Parc de la Mar, Palma, Mallorca

Situated on the old Roman city walls, this hotel is in a prestigious spot overlooking the Parc del Mar and the coast, nestled within the paved streets peppered with shops, galleries and studios of the Calatrava district. The cathedral and surrounding museums are a couple of minutes away, the city-centre shops are a ten-minute walk away, and the airport is just 15 minutes by taxi.

By plane: there are direct flights from London (2 hours 25 mins), Manchester (2 hours 40 mins) and Edinburgh (3 hours). The hotel is a 15-minute drive from Palma de Mallorca airport. Paid parking is available nearby for €35 per day. Book flights to Mallorca.

Designed by Swedish fashion designer Magnus Ehrland, the interiors are full of texture and pattern, making it a choice hotel for jet-setting fashionistas. You'll find the Arabic star pattern repeated throughout the hotel; on doors, room dividers, and even the towels. The teal-tiled subterranean pool is lit by a multitude of low-hanging lampshades.

Upon checking in, you'll receive a voucher for a welcome drink to enjoy at your leisure, and your bags are swiftly escorted with you to your room. The rooftop pool is a tranquil place to relax in cabanas or on loungers, while downstairs there's a pool and thermal suite to unwind in.
