Hotel Hostal Cuba occupies a building constructed in 1904 by Rafael Juan Roc, a Palma native who had made his fortune trading with the Caribbean and built the house in a colonial style reflecting that connection. After the Roc family sold it following the Spanish Civil War, it became a modest hostal housing sailors and fishermen for extended stays, which gave the property its name. The building closed in the 1990s and reopened after a 2013 renovation that preserved its modernist facade, original staircase and interior sandstone walls; it's now classified as a Protected Cultural Good.

The hotel's own restaurant serves traditional, market-driven local cuisine from breakfast through dinner (9am to 11pm), and the rooftop Sky Bar offers a public breakfast buffet plus drinks with views over the city and bay.

Hotel Hostal Cuba is on Carrer de Sant Magí in Santa Catalina, one of Palma's neighbourhoods, inside the same modernist building it has occupied since 1904. This is a city stay, not a rural one, so you're within Palma itself rather than out on the island, and the building, a Protected Cultural Good with its original facade and staircase intact, is as much a reason to stay as the address is.
