*A five-star with two pools planted in the historic alleys of Palma, far from the tourist coast.*
Hotel Gloria de Sant Jaume
From
470.255 €
“Two pools and a spa housed within the walls of Palma's historic centre, a rarity in this neighbourhood of narrow alleys.”
Hotel Gloria de Sant Jaume occupies a discreet address in the historic heart of Palma, a stone's throw from the cathedral La Seu. We find a rare luxury for the city centre: two pools and a spa, while most hotels in the neighbourhood make do with a terrace. The 356 reviews collected on Booking, for a score of 9.5/10, confirm an attentive service. The rate starts at 470 € per night, consistent with the announced five-star standing. The airport shuttle facilitates arrival from Son Sant Joan, around twenty minutes away. The Wi-Fi covers the entire establishment, from the lobby to the rooms. We regret the absence of precise information on the restaurant, whose name and menu are not communicated.
Who is it for?
Who we recommend it to
We recommend the Hotel Gloria de Sant Jaume to travellers who want to stay in historic Palma without giving up five-star comforts, pools and spa included. It is an address for couples on a cultural weekend, between visits to the cathedral and strolls through the cobbled alleys. Business travellers will also find what they need, thanks to the airport shuttle and Wi-Fi available everywhere.
The building
Architecture and interiors
The building is located at 18 Carrer Sant Jaume, right in the historic centre of Palma. Our data do not specify the year of construction nor the original architectural style. We only know that the establishment has two pools and a spa, an arrangement uncommon in this perimeter of narrow streets. Lacking further details on the interiors, we advise checking the photos before booking.
At the table
Restaurants, bar, service
A restaurant is on site, with room service available, but no chef's name or culinary concept is specified in our data. The breakfast is not described either. We advise checking directly with the hotel before basing a choice on the table.

Location & access
Where the hotel sits in Mallorca
The Hotel Gloria de Sant Jaume sits in the alleys of Palma's historic centre, a few minutes' walk from the cathedral La Seu and the Passeig del Born. The neighbourhood blends shops, terraces and old façades, lively by day and quieter in the evening. Palma airport (Son Sant Joan) lies about fifteen kilometres away, served by the hotel shuttle. Parking in these pedestrian streets remains limited, hence the value of the private parking offered on site.
