A new name for a grand hotel

The historic Hospes Maricel & Spa begins a new chapter under the name Gran Hotel Maricel, marking a transformation that seeks to revive the social, sophisticated and personal spirit that defined its golden years. Inspired by the great Mediterranean hotels, Gran Hotel Maricel is conceived as a grand home by the sea: exceptional yet welcoming, sophisticated without formality. Two buildings make up the hotel, the Palace Building inspired by the style of the 16th and 17th centuries and the avant-garde style Natura Building. 

Very close to the hotel you will find some of the most emblematic locations on the island, such as the Old Town, the Arab Baths, the promenade or the city walls. The hotel is close to both the beach and the centre of Palma de Mallorca, just 4 km from Puerto Portals and 8 km from La Seu Cathedral. There are numerous water activities such as kayaking, sport fishing, water skiing or scuba diving as well as the Golf Bendinat course a 2-minute drive away, or tennis and paddle tennis at Puerto Portals just a 5-minute drive away.

The hotel also reclaims its role as a meeting place for guests, locals and visitors, inviting them to enjoy its spaces and experiences: breakfast overlooking the sea, a day by the pool, lunch on the terrace, oysters and champagne at sunset, or a treatment beside the Mediterranean. The restaurant offers an innovative take on Mallorcan classics with a modern twist, enjoy in either of the two dining rooms or on the terrace with an atmospheric sea view. Gastronomy plays a central role, with Maricel Restaurant, led by Chef José Vicente Tarín, the iconic Maricel Breakfast, and Oysters Bar, located within the new Pool Club. The experience is complemented by BODYNA, offering personalised wellness treatments and rituals.

Gran Hotel Maricel thus reclaims its essence as a Mediterranean icon, deeply connected to Mallorca yet cosmopolitan in spirit: sophisticated without ostentation, intimate yet social. The new name does not begin a different story; it revives the one that has always been there and brings it forward for a new generation.
