The hotel occupies a neoclassical merchant’s mansion on one of the calmest squares in the historic centre, restored with a contemporary interior and a private art collection against the original grandeur.

The roof terrace — pool, bar, the Basílica de Sant Francesc in front and the cathedral silhouette behind it — is a destination in its own right, and the restaurant in the old stables is among the more serious tables in the quarter. Car access to the square is restricted; arrange a transfer if you are carrying luggage.
