Hotel Born
The two-pearl Hotel Born is a converted palace, located in the heart of Palma and just an eight-minute walk from the historic cathedral. Bars, restaurants and nightlife are all nearby as well. Decor is traditional and mostly tasteful, from the Old World lobby to the spacious rooms, which feature flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and free Wi-Fi. Preserved historic details also make occasional appearance, adding a bit more atmosphere, but they sometimes just look dated, and features are limited to a free daily buffet breakfast. The charming courtyard is a fine place to start the day when the weather’s warmer, and is a favorite of many previous guests. Prices are reasonable for the area, but travelers wanting a pool might try Hotel Feliz instead, though rates will be higher.
