— How would you describe Hotel Petit Maó in a nutshell?
Stéphanie: “Petit Maó is a small boutique hotel in an 18th century manor house in Mahon, the capital city of Menorca, Spain. It resembles the story of friendship; my husband and I created this hotel together with two friends of ours. Urban in style and location, Petit Maó stands for a new concept of hospitality.”

— What was your inspiration to open two small boutique hotels on Menorca?
Stéphanie: “We prefer staying in small hotels when traveling, as it’s a much better model than big hotels. There are many people like us who are looking for another, better experience.
We decided to open our own two small boutique hotels on Menorca, even though neither my husband nor I had any professional background in the hotel business. But since I grew up in a family that was in the hotel world in Brittany, France, I understood how everything worked and what needed to be done.”

— Please tell us about the interior design and atmosphere of Petit Maó.
Stéphanie: “The style of the hotel is modern and inspired by Nordic design. It also has a very personal atmosphere as every piece in the hotel was chosen with great love and care. Petit Maó was opened just last year in August and even though it is quite a young hotel, it is very successful already.
Especially in winter many people stay with us for a couple of nights, as it is very cozy but at the same time so convenient as it’s so close to the airport.”
