Concepció by Nobis
Concepció by Nobis is a 31-room, 5-star hotel inside a 16th-century Palma building, dating to 1576, that's previously served as a hospital, an olive-oil marketplace, and a soap factory. Stockholm firm Wingårdhs led the redesign, keeping original cross vaults, beamed ceilings, and bay windows, and lined the entrance and rooms with custom tiles made with local ceramics maker Huguet. Chef Xema Álvarez runs the in-house restaurant Xalest, and there's a courtyard plunge pool for a break between old-town wandering.
Background
About Concepció by Nobis
The building goes back to 1576, and in between then and now it's done time as a hospital, an olive-oil marketplace, and a soap factory. Stockholm-based firm Wingårdhs led the redesign, co-led by Helena Toresson and Gert Wingårdh alongside Jordi Herrero Arquitectos and Eduardo Garcia Acuna Arquitecto, and kept what survived all those lives: cross vaults, beamed ceilings, bay windows. The entrance and rooms are lined with custom watercolor-style tiles, made through a partnership between Wingårdhs and local ceramics maker Huguet. It's a Design Hotels member property and part of the Nobis Hospitality Group, the Swedish hotel brand behind it.
