Pikes Hotel
Pikes Hotel is a luxury hotel, set in a 15th-century stone mansion, a "finca", which was a farm for centuries. It is accessed off a long lane leading from the main road from Sant Antoni de Portmany. Stuart Husband of "The Independent" describes Pikes Hotel as "a notorious Ibiza hotel where anything goes." It is considered to be one of the most famous or infamous hotels on the island and has been cited as one of the "world's true spiritual homes of rock'n'roll hedonism." Iain Stewart of "The Rough Guide to Ibiza" considers Pikes Hotel to be an "almost legendary, relaxed and idiosyncratic rural hotel, popular with visiting celebrities." "The Mail on Sunday" has referred to the hotel as an "atmosphere of complete sexual licence." Anthony Pike himself said "it's been claimed we break every law, but I wouldn't be in business if that was the case." Boy George referred to Pike as the "Hugh Hefner of Ibiza".
