Description of hotel: Terreno Barrio Hotel in Palma de Mallorca

Some places are not meant to be explained, but felt. El Terreno is one of them. A neighbourhood with an unmistakable magnetism, set between the Mediterranean Sea and an ancient pine forest, that once served as a summer retreat for aristocrats, bourgeois families and Europes creative bohemia. Today, El Terreno is reclaiming its essence as a vibrant, local and creative neighbourhood. And Terreno Barrio Hotel was born to embody exactly that: the neighbourhood, turned into a hotel. The project unfolds across two buildings, each with its own soul. The historic building is a tribute to the original Terreno. Its renovation respects the architecture of David Oliver while introducing a contemporary layer through Hughet ceramic floors, custom furniture by La Pecera and a bespoke bar designed by Dos Monos. A space full of character, where tradition and modernity coexist naturally, with views over the Bellver forest and the everyday life of the neighbourhood. The new building is conceived as a wellness retreat. Natural wood, generous light and architecture designed to slow things down. It features rooms with private balconies, artwork by Albert Piña and handcrafted elements by La Fiore, as well as spaces made to linger: a café open to the neighbourhood, green areas, a pop-up gallery, cinema, swimming pool and social spaces. A building created to add value and become a new source of pride for El Terreno. Terreno Barrio Hotel offers 41 rooms designed as temporary homes. Spaces where guests feel like locals rather than visitors, shaped by noble materials, Mediterranean references and pieces crafted by local artisans. Speaking about barrio only makes sense when you truly build community. Circularity lies at the heart of the project: conscious decisions, local collaborations and a way of doing things that places people, place and planet at the centre. Terreno is not just a place to stay, its a way of being.
