Overview of HM Palma Blanc Hotel
Step out of HM Palma Blanc Hotel and La Rambla, the tree-lined promenade that runs through the heart of Palma, is only about 0.4 km away according to the Traveloka listing. The hotel sits at Carrer de Ramon y Cajal 12 in the El Camp d'en Serralta neighbourhood (postcode 07011), placing it within easy reach of Plaza Mayor, Passeig del Born and the waterfront Paseo Maritimo, while still keeping a calmer residential feel than the busiest lanes of the old town.
What sets this property apart is its building. HM Hotels, the Mallorcan group that operates it, describes HM Palma Blanc as an urban 4-star superior hotel with innovative and avant-garde architecture, built with traditional Mallorcan materials as a statement of its commitment to sustainability and local industry. The hotel forms part of the group's sustainability programme, THE PLANET by HM Hotels, and its official site notes a solar installation that generates part of the property's own energy. It is a modern, design-led take on a city hotel rather than a converted historic townhouse, which gives it a different character from many of the boutique stays in the old quarter.
Traveloka lists the property with 118 rooms, one restaurant and two bars, alongside an outdoor pool, a spa with a steam room, a fitness centre and a garden terrace. That combination of resort-style facilities and a central city address is the main reason guests choose it: you can spend the morning walking to the cathedral or the Santa Catalina market and come back to a pool and spa in the afternoon without needing a car.
Room Types at HM Palma Blanc Hotel
HM Hotels lists four room categories at HM Palma Blanc, presented here from the entry-level option upwards. The hotel notes that several categories come in different bed compositions, so check the exact configuration shown on the Traveloka room list before you confirm. Across the property, Traveloka's data mentions flat-screen (plasma) televisions with satellite channels, free WiFi, phones, safes, coffee and tea makers, and bathrooms with showers, complimentary toiletries and hair dryers.
Double Room
The Double Room is the hotel's starting category. According to the official site it measures around 15 square metres and sleeps up to two people, with either a king-size bed or two single beds. It suits solo travellers and couples who plan to spend most of the day out exploring Palma and want a well-located, comfortable base to return to.
Superior Room
The Superior Room steps up to roughly 25 square metres, again for a maximum of two guests, with the hotel noting that different bed compositions are available. The extra floor space makes it a sensible choice for longer stays or for couples who prefer room to unpack properly rather than living out of a suitcase.
Junior Suite
At around 35 square metres, the Junior Suite is the first category that accommodates up to four people. HM Hotels describes it as having a seating area and a sofa bed, which makes it the natural pick for small families or friends sharing a room on a city break.
Suite
The Suite is the largest category listed, at about 45 square metres for up to four guests, with one double bed. It is the option to look at if you want the most space the hotel offers, for example on a special-occasion trip or a longer holiday based in the city.
The hotel's room page lists further in-room features across categories, including air conditioning and heating, a kettle, a refrigerator, a minibar, an iron, a desk, a ceiling fan, a pillow menu, a magnifying mirror and soundproof windows. Room-by-room inclusions can vary, so use the room details on the property page to confirm what your chosen room includes.
Facilities and Amenities
For a city-centre hotel, HM Palma Blanc offers a broad set of leisure facilities. The Traveloka listing and the hotel's own site together confirm the following:
- Outdoor pool and sun loungers – the hotel calls its pool an "urban oasis", with loungers set around it and a pool bar nearby.
- Spa – massages and body treatments, plus a steam room; the official site also lists a sauna, a jacuzzi and two massage rooms. Treatments need to be reserved in advance by contacting the hotel.
- Fitness centre – HM Hotels states that the gym is open 24 hours.
- Garden and terrace – a first-floor terrace with gardens, used for drinks such as cocktails, organic wine and fresh juices.
- Cinema room – the hotel lists a cinema seating up to 30 people.
- Meetings and events – two fully equipped meeting rooms, banquet facilities and business facilities.
- Parking – an on-site private car park with 122 spaces according to the hotel, with charges applying, plus accessible parking, EV charging points and a garage for standard and electric bicycles.
- Connectivity – free WiFi throughout the property.
Service-wise, Traveloka lists a 24-hour front desk, multilingual staff, laundry and dry-cleaning service, luggage storage, tour and ticket assistance, a safety deposit box and lifts. The property is marked as disabled-access friendly. HM Hotels also mentions a rent-a-car desk, cultural information for guests and a paid transfer service. The hotel is non-pet-friendly, and contactless check-in and check-out are available.
Location and Getting There
HM Palma Blanc is, in the hotel's own words, located right in the centre of Palma, close to the marina and Plaza Mayor. Traveloka's area data gives walking-friendly distances to many of the city's best-known sights, which makes this an easy base for exploring on foot:
- La Rambla – about 0.4 km
- Centre Cultural La Misericòrdia – about 0.6 km
- Municipal Market of Santa Catalina – about 0.6 km
- Es Baluard Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art – about 0.7 km
- Passeig del Born and Paseo Maritimo – about 0.8 km each
- Church of Santa Magdalena and Casal Solleric – about 0.8 km
- Lonja de Palma de Mallorca and Plaza de Mercat – about 1 km
- Plaza España – about 1 km, and Plaça de la Reina – about 1.1 km
The listing also places the hotel around 4 km from the Port of Palma de Mallorca and about 5.6 km from Cala Mayor Beach, so a beach afternoon is a short taxi or bus ride away. The Almudaina Palace and Palma Cathedral, two of the city's emblematic buildings, are within the surrounding area.
Palma de Mallorca Airport (PMI) is the nearest airport. HM Hotels suggests three ways in: by taxi from the arrivals terminal, which it estimates at around fifteen minutes; by the A1 airport bus towards Es Baluard, getting off at the Passeig Mallorca – Instituts stop and walking about five minutes; or by car via the Ma-19 and Avenida Gabriel Roca towards Passeig de Mallorca. If you are still planning the journey, you can compare flights to Palma de Mallorca on Traveloka and time your arrival with the 15:00 check-in.
Dining at HM Palma Blanc Hotel
The hotel's restaurant, Aromata, is the centrepiece of its food offering. HM Hotels associates it with chef Andreu Genestra and describes the cooking as avant-garde Mallorcan cuisine that draws on produce from an urban garden. According to the official site, the restaurant serves breakfast, lunch on selected days and a tasting menu at dinner, so it is worth checking the current schedule with reception if you plan to dine in.
Breakfast is served as a buffet from 7:30 to 10:30, which both Traveloka's data and the hotel's site confirm; it is charged separately unless your rate includes it. Through the day, a snack bar and deli covers lighter bites, and the hotel lists snacks served in the garden, patio or lobby, as well as room service during set hours.
For drinks, Traveloka counts two bars and lounges, which the hotel names as the Lobby Bar and the Pool Bar. The garden terrace is another spot for an aperitif before heading out.
Staying this central also means a wide choice of places to eat outside the hotel. The Municipal Market of Santa Catalina, around 0.6 km away, is a good place to sample local produce, and the streets around Passeig del Born and Plaza Mayor are full of cafés and tapas bars. To fill the rest of your days, you can browse tours and things to do in Mallorca before you travel.
Why Stay at HM Palma Blanc Hotel
The strongest argument for HM Palma Blanc Hotel is balance. Many central Palma hotels are compact townhouses with limited space for a pool or spa, while many resort hotels on the island sit far from the old town. This property offers an outdoor pool, a spa with a steam room, a gym and a garden terrace, yet La Rambla, Es Baluard and the Santa Catalina market are all within roughly a kilometre.
- Distinctive design – contemporary architecture built with traditional Mallorcan materials, under HM Hotels' sustainability programme.
- Room choice for different groups – from a 15 square metre Double Room for two up to Junior Suites and Suites for up to four.
- Practical for drivers – a sizeable private car park with EV charging, which is uncommon this close to the centre.
- Food with a local identity – Restaurant Aromata focuses on Mallorcan cuisine and garden produce.
- Easy for longer stays and work trips – meeting rooms, a cinema room, laundry service and free WiFi throughout.
It suits couples on a city break, families who want a pool between sightseeing sessions, and business travellers who need meeting space in central Palma. If you would like to weigh it against other options, you can browse more hotels in Mallorca and beyond on Traveloka.
