Amy Adejokun Section editor

Ideally located for guests seeking to relax in the heart of the Majorcan mountains, the Gran Hotel Soller has all the facilities of a 5 star hotel as well as a magnificent façade. It is a true haven of peace and tranquillity. It is also an ideal departure point for exploring the island, for people wishing to see the various types of landscape it has to offer (sea, cliffs, creeks and mountains), and to get away from the noise and crowds of places like El Arenal and Magalluf.

    Location 9.74 /10

    Located in the village of Soller, in the Sierra de Tramuntana, the hotel stands 20 mi away from Palma city centre and approximately 25 mi from the airport. You will be able to reach Palma thanks to the picturesque tramway of Soller, entirely made out of wood. If you are driving, the shortest way to get to the city centre (25 minutes) is to use the Soller tunnel. In summer, the tramway that takes passengers to the Soller harbour passes every 15 minutes.

    Accommodation 8.45 /10

    The hotel's 38 guestrooms have all been decorated by Nick Spangenberg: they are modern and simply furnished in a refined style. The carpet is either blue or a light shade of beige or a pastel colour. The lighting in the rooms is worth mentioning, as it filters in from various ceiling fixtures. The rooms are spacious and fully equipped (welcome toiletries are provided by the Carven brand), and they all have a safe that is free of charge. Some of the rooms display the original old stones of the building. The deluxe rooms and the suite have a jacuzzi, a balcony and a plasma screen television with a DVD player.

    Overview 8.95 /10

    The hotel was built in 1890 by the famous architect Joaquin Pavia Birmingham, who designed the Council of Majorca and who was in charge of the restoration of the Palma Cathedral. At the time, the hotel was a private mansion. After serving as the residence of the Casanova family, it was turned into a tanning and shoe-making factory. It was given life as a hotel in the 1960's, when Majorca suddenly became a major tourist site. The present owner, originally from Soller and former owner of the American company Medieval Times, was the one who supported the transformation of the mansion into a luxury hotel. In the centre of the lounge located on the ground floor, a beautiful large fireplace made out of carved wood looks like an article of furniture. While the reception holds a sculpture by Lorenzo Quinn, the walls of the corridors and of the rest of the hotel are adorned with paintings by Julio Ramis; a lithography by Miró; and a painting by Norah Borges (in the spa), the sister of the famous Argentine writer who used to live in the village of Valldemosa close to Soller in the 1920's. The Gran Hotel Soller has two pools, a small spa with a sauna, a hammam and a jacuzzi. Mei Hong, the specialist at the hotel, performs massages, reflexology and acupuncture treatments.

    Food and drink 8.20 /10

    The restaurant Can Blau and its chef from Ribera del Duero serve typically Majorcan gastronomic meals prepared with produce bought at the local market. In the restaurant hall, located on the basement floor, where the old stones of the original building and some beams on the ceiling are visible, you can have a glimpse of the large cellar filled with a multitude of wines and old vintages. The breakfast buffet has its own area dedicated to show-cooking, where guests can order what they wish to eat and have it prepared before their very eyes.

    To know

    On winter weekends, the clientele mainly consists of Majorcan families, but in summer the hotel hosts many guests from Northern Europe.

      The Eden Hotel is ideally located opposite the tram stop of the famous and authentically typical tramway linking Puerto Soller to Soller, between En Repic beach and the port. It looks out over the beautiful Puerto Soller bay, which is surrounded by majestic mountains that plunge into the sea. It offers its guests peace and quiet, as well as good value for money in the fantastic Soller region, which is known for its hiking trails.

      Nestled above the magnificent Puerto Soller bay, where high mountains plunge into the sea, the Suliar Palace doesn't really live up to its exceptional location; indeed, the word 'palace' is rather inappropriate. Neverthelss, Suliar Palace is a very peaceful establishment, with two swimming pools, including one indoor pool, a sauna, a hammam and a jacuzzi, but it could certainly do with a serious makeover and it is not very well maintained.

      Nestled on the hillside above the sublime bay of Puerto Soller and surrounded by majestic mountains, the Es Port Hotel is housed in a fortified family mansion that dates back to the 17th century. The building really amounts to a castle, complete with a dungeon, a Baroque chapel, and an old olive press that has been converted into a bar. All of this is set amid the lush green surroundings of orange and lemon trees. This is a charming little place where you'll be welcomed as if you were visiting your aunt out in the country. It is certainly one of our Majorcan favourites!
