Occupying two chicly reimagined palaces from the 12th and 18th centuries, backing onto Plaça de Sant Felip Neri, this tranquil designer beauty wins everyone over. Sandstone walls lend a sense of history, while the 22 cream-toned, minimal-plastic rooms flaunt Molton Brown toiletries, pillow menus, world-roaming photos and jazzy carpets by the owners, and cutting-edge technology like infrared lights in the stone-clad bathrooms.
Sister hotel The Wittmore, in the southern Gòtic, is a moody adult's-only, no-photos affair with a British-countryside feel, plush interior rooms, a graceful roof terrace and cosy bar.
