With its lovely colonial façade, it was Ibiza City’s first resort and has at all times been a haunt for the smarter customer – everybody from Orson Welles of Citizen Kane fame to Princess Caroline of Monaco of Princess Grace of Monaco fame has stayed right here – with the constructing even doubling as a vacationer workplace within the early days. With simply 33 rooms over three flooring and a gorgeous roof terrace full with DJ sales space (it’s nonetheless Ibiza!), to this present day it’s by no means not celebrity-ready.
