The hotel was built by joining two buildings, a magnificent Medieval palace and a stone building that was partially destroyed during the Civil War and renovated in 1958 by Adolf Florensa, with a stunning façade looking onto the Plaza Sant Felip Neri and a 12th century stone wall, perfectly visible today, separating the restaurant area from the lounge bar.  
During the renovation of the hotel, under the two buildings, a Roman site was found, which was documented by a team of archaeologists, and remains of Phoenician ceramics which were handed over to National Heritage.
