Palma's Hotel Perú: When Urban History Becomes a Luxury Project — a Critical Appraisal

Answer

What are the risks of converting a historic Palma building into private property?

One risk is that important architectural details can be lost during renovation, especially if the project focuses mainly on luxury interiors. Another concern is that a once more open part of the city becomes fully private, with little or no public access. In Palma, that can also add pressure to the housing market in the old town.
