Private rooftop with views of Palma Cathedral

Caressing the Mallorcan sky 

In the heart of the old town of Palma de Mallorca stands a historical treasure converted into a luxury boutique hotel: Palacio Can Marqués. Within its centuries-old walls lies one of the city's best-kept secrets: an exclusive rooftop reserved only for guests, offering an unparalleled experience of leisure and relaxation. In this post, we invite you to discover why this space on the heights, with extraordinary views of the cathedral and medieval streets, has become the island's hidden gem. 

A secret rooftop in the heart of Palma 

Unlike other publicly accessible terraces, the rooftop at Palacio Can Marqués is a private space reserved exclusively for guests staying in its suites. Elevated above the golden-tiled roofs and flowery balconies, this high-altitude oasis invites you to disconnect from the city's hustle and bustle, providing an atmosphere of absolute privacy. Those fortunate guests staying with us can visit the rooftop at any time of day, making every sunset or evening meal a unique moment. 

Unparalleled views of the cathedral and the historic city centre 

From the rooftop, the majestic Cathedral of Santa Maria de Palma - popularly known as La Seu - dominates the skyline. The gargoyles and Gothic stained glass windows stand out against the Mediterranean sky, while the cobbled streets and reddish brown roofs stretch out at the traveller's feet. At night, the architectural lighting enhances every detail of the basilica, creating a visual spectacle that few other places can match. In addition, the panoramic view encompasses monuments such as the Royal Palace of La Almudaina and the Lonja, offering a comprehensive overview of the city's monumental heritage. 

Experience signature cocktails in an exclusive atmosphere 

The Palacio Can Marqués rooftop offers not only a stunning viewpoint but also an exceptional setting for savouring signature cocktails crafted by renowned mixologists. These cocktails, crafted with local ingredients including herbs from the Tramuntana mountain range, Mallorcan citrus fruits, and Mediterranean spices, are combined using contemporary techniques to create unique drinks. Each cocktail is served in elegant glassware and accompanied by small gourmet bites that enhance the overall experience. Additionally, the discreet and professional service adds to the exclusive atmosphere, ensuring that every guest is an honoured visitor. 

The Merchants: high-end cuisine 

On the hotel's ground floor, we find The Merchants restaurant situated in a magnificent courtyard garden, designed by the Aggi Bruch studio. Under pergolas and amid subtropical greenery, this steakhouse & grill offers a fresh, light approach to meat cuisine, complemented by seafood from the Balearic coast. Dishes such as surf & turf lobster aged meat, or tuna tartare with citrus emulsion, illustrate its commitment to quality and innovation. The restaurant also opens its doors for breakfast, lunch and dinner, allowing guests to enjoy its dishes in a setting that is as equally charming as the rooftop. 

The difference of staying at Palacio Can Marqués 

Beyond its decoration and services, Palacio Can Marqués stands out for its personalised service and exclusive experiences. Access to the private rooftop is just one of the advantages appreciated by those looking for an out-of-the-ordinary accommodation. Additionally, the hotel offers 100% natural amenities in the rooms, organic treatments in the spa, and the option to host private events in its elegant rooms, all of which contribute to a memorable visit. At Palacio Can Marqués, luxury and discretion come together to create an urban retreat in the heart of the historic centre. 

How to book and practical advice 

To secure a place on the rooftop, simply book one of the suites through the hotel's official website or a trusted online platform. As access is limited to guests, it is advisable to check availability in advance, especially in high season (June to September) and during Easter. The hotel offers packages that combine accommodation, spa access, and dinner at The Merchants, ideal for romantic getaways or special celebrations. It's also worth checking out off-season offers for lower rates and a more relaxed atmosphere.
