Near Palma, the capital of the Spanish isle Mallorca, Gran Hotel Son Julia traces its history to the fifteenth century. Once the island home of a noble family, the peaceful property will open as a luxury boutique resort in February 2006.
The grand public spaces display a treasure trove of Spanish delights—from handmade furniture and lamps to oriental rugs and paintings by Miquel Mesquida Sansó. The 25 rooms and suites contain echoes of the past but also modern all-marble baths, plasma-screen TVs, dual-line phones, and Internet access. Balconies and terraces present enchanting views of the gardens, the surrounding countryside, and the nearby church of Llucmajor.
