Posada Terra Santa, an exclusive boutique hotel located in the historic center of Palma, has undergone an extraordinary transformation. It is the first hotel of the Hidden Away Hotels chain founded by Ignacio Jimenez and Carmen Cordón in 2014, and since then, this hotel has been a hidden gem in the historic district of Palma. In 2024, and coinciding with its tenth anniversary, the hotel reopens its doors with a new aesthetic that conveys calm and serenity, full of natural light spots, it is pure Mediterranean, inviting guests to be carried away by the silence within its walls.
FUNDAMENTAL PILLARS OF THE RENOVATION OF POSADA TERRA SANTA
The interior design and concept of this renovation were based on four fundamental pillars that reflect the rich history and promise of luxury of Posada Terra Santa.
- Heritage: The hotel building, dating back to 1576, is a testimony to the rich history of Palma de Mallorca. During the original restoration, Gothic architectural elements were discovered, such as arches and large clay jars used for food storage. This rich historical legacy served as inspiration for the renovation, which sought to preserve and celebrate the building’s history while giving it a contemporary touch. The intervention was carried out with care not to alter the inherent beauty of the space, mainly using furniture, decoration, and architectural finishes that complement the place’s history.
- Post Luxury: In an increasingly fast-paced world, true luxury lies in the wellness experience and connection with the environment. The renovation of Posada Terra Santa focused on creating spaces that invite guests to disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and enjoy moments of peace and tranquility. From warm and welcoming interiors to modern amenities, every detail was designed to offer an authentic and relaxing luxury experience.
- Slow Design: This type of design aims to value craftsmanship and authenticity. At Posada Terra Santa, this approach is reflected in the selection of natural materials and attention to detail in every corner of the hotel. From solid wood furniture to handwoven fabrics, each element was carefully chosen to reflect Mallorca’s rich artisanal tradition and create a cozy and authentic atmosphere for guests.
- Layers: Posada Terra Santa is much more than just a hotel; it is a destination that invites guests to delve into the many layers of Mallorca’s history and culture. From ancient Gothic arches to centuries-old relics, every corner of the hotel tells a unique story. The renovation sought to highlight these layers of history and create spaces that inspire guests to explore and discover everything the hotel and its surroundings have to offer.
