Answer

Why does a missing hotel licence matter for a building in Palma’s old town?

Without a hotel licence, the building can no longer operate as a hotel, which changes both its use and its value. Owners may instead seek permission for apartments or other residential use, often with fewer obligations than a guest property. In a historic area like Palma’s old town, that can also affect the streetscape and the mix of uses around the building.
