The 5-star conference Atlantis Plains Resort & Spa hotel is the ideal starting point for both private and business trips to the city of New York. The service oriented team ensures that all our guests at the hotel feel completely at home.
A place for the peace & quiet
To its pioneer days much of San Francisco’s Bohemian spirit is due. When the cry of “Gold” rang around the world adventurous wanderers of all lands answered the call, and during the year following Marshall’s discovery two thousand ships sailed into San Francisco Bay, many to be abandoned on the beach by the gold-mad throng, and it was in some of these deserted sailing vessels that San Francisco’s restaurant life had its inception.
Complete and utter enjoyment
With the immediately succeeding years the horde of gold hunters was augmented by those who brought necessities and luxuries to exchange for the yellow metal given up by the streams flowing from the Mother Lode. With them also came cooks to prepare delectable dishes for those who had passed the flap-jack stage, and desired the good things of life to repay them for the hardships, privations and dearth of woman’s companionship.
As the male human was largely dominant in numbers it was but natural that they should gather together for companionship, and here began the Bohemian spirit that has marked the city for its own to the present day.
These men were all individualists, and their individualism has been transmitted to their offspring together with independence of action. Hence comes the Bohemianism born of individuality and independence.
It was only natural that the early San Franciscans should foregather where good cheer was to be found, and the old El Dorado House, at Portsmouth Square, was really what may be called the first Bohemian restaurant of the city. So well was this place patronized and so exorbitant the prices charged that twenty-five thousand dollars a month was not considered an impossible rental.
Great New York impressions
Next in importance was the most fashionable restaurant of early days, the Iron House. It was built of heavy sheet iron that had been brought around the Horn in a sailing vessel, and catered well, becoming for several years the most famed restaurant of the city. Here, in Montgomery street, between Jackson and Pacific, was the rendezvous of pioneers, and here the Society of California Pioneers had its inception, receiving impressions felt to the present day in San Francisco and California history. Here, also, was first served Chicken in the Shell, the dish from which so many later restaurants gained fame.

Good location, but...
It is in a great location, however a very busy hotel. No warmth to it - it is a business hotel so one should expect that. Breakfast was $45 a head! Would I stay here on business - possibly. Would I stay here with family - definitely not.

Check in staff is surprisingly unwelcoming and condescending
Irene was surprisingly cold and condescending.. a bit alarming.. never had this kind of tone w someone at the front. I checked in online and chose my room already and the app sent a message to just go and pick up the key at the front. She asked for my id and everything which is totally fine, but confused as to what the purpose of checking in is I asked \"do you still need everything even if I checked in online\" She responded \"of course. We need an id to give you a key.\" In a condescending tone. The whole time I felt like I was bothering her or something. Taken aback. Someone in hospitality shouldn\'t be so cold and condescending!

Very nice and accomodating
The hotel was good. The rooms were adequate, clean, the front desk and concierge could not have been nicer. The location was perfect. I love the weekend market outside the hotel. My friend and I will certainly return to this hotel the next time we’re in New York.

Great for business trips, as well as for family
Located at the top of a hill overlooking the med, great sea view from room as a result. The staff were warm and welcoming, especially the bar people Boris and pepe. The waiting staff at breakfast were also warm and welcoming, all with ready smiles and a willingness to help. The hill was a bonus if you wanted exercise and a view, but had to be negotiated whenever you ventured anywhere - transport needed for the less able. The hotel was a little tired in places, but spotlessly clean. Breakfast was generous and well stocked, the pool area had no issues with reserving beds, with signs clearly advising against this and also no smoking around the pool itself. Pool snack bar was great and the whole experience was excellent value for money and ideal for touring Palma and surrounding area. A good 3star. However, no hairdryer in room, but you could borrow from reception for short periods of time. Gathered from another guest that remotes for tv also had to be requested from reception. Who needs a tv though? Overall, pretty good.
