Portella Palma occupies a 17th-century traditional Mallorcan house built with Moorish and Venetian Renaissance influences. Before it was a hotel, it was home to aristocrats and merchants, and later to the Spanish painter Joaquín Torrents Lladó. Paris-based Festen Architecture led the restoration alongside Gras Reynés Architecture, and the lighting was designed together with the Gordiola family, Mallorca's historic glassmakers. The property opened in 2024 after what the hotel describes as a meticulous renovation, landing it in the Mr & Mrs Smith collection and on Monocle's current Palma hotel guide.

Portella Palma runs its own café-kitchen and restaurant built around a central courtyard fountain, serving Mediterranean cuisine. It's a small operation to match the 13-room hotel, more of a house kitchen than a destination restaurant, with the courtyard fountain and greenery setting the scene for meals in the traditional Mallorcan patio. There's also a bar, plus a rooftop terrace for a drink with views over the Old Town.
