Hotel & Other Overnight Accommodations

Nobis splice Scandinavian style with sophisticated Spanish charm

Designed in joint collaboration with Wingårdhs, Jordi Herrero Arquitectos and Eduardo Garcia Acuna Arquitecto, Concepció is the Nobis Hospitality Group’s first venture beyond Scandinavia

by Georgina Johnston 21 July 2021

Bearing a Mediterranean glamour, the property will be a southern beacon for the Swedish brand, which will apply its hallmark style to a historic building on the edge of the city’s old town. The 31 room hotel is set to be a year-round celebration of the Mallorcan capital. 

Located in a corner of Palma, where the Old Town meets the Santa Catalina district and the sea is just a stone’s throw away, the site of the new Concepció by Nobis is perfectly positioned to absorb the city’s many facets. The property will present a social hub that beckons travelers and locals alike with amenities that will include a pool, an in-house restaurant, terraces, and a standout lounge. 

The 31 guestrooms and suites, which will range from standard single rooms to the Terrazza Room, featuring its own covered patio area, will each be delicately carved out of a frame that dates back to 1576, for a compelling merger of Palma’s past and present. 

Taking cues from both the Mediterranean Sea and the green Tramuntana mountains for the colour scheme, the designers will also apply an abundance of natural materials to the hotel’s spaces while also being acutely mindful of the history of the building, a former soap factory. Guestrooms will be accented with wood, leather, and wool alongside Carl Hansen’s ‘Cuba’ chairs, while public spaces are defined by the presence of custom-made tiling by Mallorcan brand Huguet against carefully restored pillars and beamed ceilings.

Gardens, a gym (complete with sauna), a ‘chambré separée’ and meeting room, and a lively lobby will round out Concepció by Nobis’ multitude of space.
