Hotel Menorca Patricia

Hotel Patricia is a three-star hotel with a Superior sub-classification. It is situated near the centre of Cuitidella - Menorca’s old capital city. The King of Spain stayed in the hotel when it first opened. My wife and I have stayed there eight times. First of all, I want to emphasise the word “superior”. Hotel Patricia is not just a superior hotel, it is the BEST hotel I have ever been fortunate to spend time in. I was a Managing Consultant with IBM for 10 years and as a consequence have spent time in a bunch of Hilton and Marriott hotels, in both the UK and USA. My wife and I have also enjoyed stays at The Caledonian Hotel in Edinburgh, The Sandman Signature in Aberdeen and The Waldorf Astoria Hotel, Manhattan, New York - part of the Hilton Group. In my consultancy days, I had top level Diamond status on Hilton’s loyalty programme and always received perks like wine and nibbles in the room, upgrades, etc. But Hotel Patricia beats all of these wannabes. I repeat, it is the BEST hotel that I have ever stayed in. It is absolutely spotless and the staff are simply exceptional. All reception staff speak very good English and cannot do enough to make your stay both memorable and stress free. A nod to the team - Monica, Dani, Bet, Marga and the always resourceful handyman Chema. Hotel Patricia is situated less than a five minute walk from the town square. There are restaurants, bars and shops in abundance. Special mention must be made of Cas Consul, a quite brilliant restaurant on the square with superb views of the harbour. I would also recommend S’esplenada for lunch, just off the square. Not least because it stocks my favourite beer - Alhambra 1925 Reserva (in its distinctive green bottle). Just superb. Hotel Patricia has a small pool at lower ground level. It has ten quality loungers and a bunch of tables and chairs if you need to take some respite from the vagaries of the Menorcan sun. Also on this level is a gym, a pool table and a restaurant where a good quality buffet breakfast can be enjoyed. if you turn right when coming out of the hotel - in the opposite direction from the square - you are just 7-8 minutes from the Mediterranean Sea. A lovely 40-minute morning stroll can take you down to the harbour, onto the square and back to hotel. I would thoroughly recommend this hotel to you.
