A destination where history and excellence meet
Palacio San Juan, a Royal Hideaway Hotel, is much more than a 5-star hotel. It is a living legacy that, for more than three centuries, has witnessed the great stories that have shaped the heart of Murcia. This majestic building, known as the Floridablanca Palace, stands opposite the imposing cathedral as an icon of sophistication and distinction.
Its restoration, carried out by the prestigious Murcian architect Jesús Zafra, has transformed its common spaces and its 70 rooms into authentic settings of elegance, where noble woods, marble and a unique design create an atmosphere of exclusivity. All this without renouncing its essence: the neoclassical façade of the nineteenth century, protected by the Special Plan of the Historic Complex, remains intact, achieving a perfect balance between heritage, modernity and refinement.
From the very first moment, guests perceive the special aura that surrounds the Palace, imbued with history and the welcoming character of southern Spain. The experience is elevated even further by its gastronomic proposal: the menu of the Ocra restaurant, signed by the renowned Jerez chef Juanlu Fernández, awarded with two Michelin stars, promises an unforgettable sensory journey. The name of the restaurant comes from a reinterpretation of the term Arco, in reference to the Arch of San Juan. Through the deliberate inversion of its letters, the name takes on a new meaning that symbolises a contemporary interpretation of the culinary legacy.
In addition, there is a restaurant on the sixth floor and a spectacular Royal Heaven rooftop, where panoramic views of Murcia are paired with signature cocktails and exquisite snacks, creating unique moments under the Mediterranean sky.

The carefully selected décor combines earthy tones and sophisticated details to convey a sense of luxury and comfort.
This enclave is not only ideal for getaways, but also the perfect setting for meetings and memorable events.

Luxury and tradition in the historic centre of Murcia
In the historic centre of Murcia, the Palacio San Juan, a Royal Hideaway Hotel stands as a haven of luxury and tradition. Its privileged location in the old town allows you to enjoy the authentic charm of the city and discover, just a few steps away, some of its most emblematic treasures.
The Floridablanca Palace was built at the end of the eighteenth century as the urban residence of the Count of Floridablanca, one of the leading figures of Enlightenment Spain. The architecture, spaces and materials preserve cultural heritage, both tangible and intangible, integrating it naturally into the everyday experience.
This cultural vocation was consolidated at the end of the twentieth century, when the hotel became an intellectual refuge for figures such as Nobel Prize winners Severo Ochoa and Rigoberta Menchú, as well as writers of the stature of Rafael Alberti, Mario Vargas Llosa and Ana María Matute, turning these walls into a crossroads of ideas and sensitivity.
The palace's close relationship with the city is reflected in its architecture, which preserves fundamental historical elements such as the emblematic Arch of San Juan.
From the hotel, it is possible to stroll to the Floridablanca Garden, the oldest in Murcia, where century-old trees and sculptures evoke the city's living history. Nearby, the Iglesia del Carmen, a baroque jewel of the eighteenth century, captivates with its elegant façade and unique legacy.
Just a five-minute walk away, the Cathedral of Santa María rises majestically, blending Gothic, Renaissance and Baroque styles in an unparalleled architectural work. For those seeking cultural experiences, the Real Casino de Murcia, with its exquisite 19th-century architecture, along with nearby theatres and museums, offers a fascinating journey through history and art.
With its strategic location, just 25 km from the airport and with direct access to public transport, Palacio San Juan, a Royal Hideaway Hotel is undoubtedly the perfect starting point for discovering Murcia in all its fullness.
