An urban retreat located in arguably the best location in all of Palma, Can Alomar is a 19th-century former palace that has undergone a light-touch refurbishment.
Designed by interior architect Cristina Marti – the wife of Miguel Conde, Founder of It Mallorca – the hotel now has a refreshed look with vibrant pops of color throughout, adding a lively twist to its contemporary and classic design. The hotel’s rooftop terrace, complete with 360-degree panoramic views of Palma, remains one of its standout features, further solidifying its status as one of the best hotels in the city.
Located right in the heart of the city’s historic centre, Can Alomar is known for its prime location within walking distance of Palma’s iconic cathedral and the city’s most elegant streets: Paseo del Borne and Carrer de Sant Feliu. Surrounded by tall trees, historical buildings, fountains, and stone sphinxes, guests of Can Alomar have it all right on their doorstep.
Below, take a look at the hotel’s light-touch refurbishment. With rooms still available to book throughout October, November, and beyond; Can Alomar is the perfect choice for a last-minute getaway while the sun is still shining over the island of Mallorca.
Rooms
Each of the hotel’s 16 guest rooms have been painted in a soft and calming sand hue while rich chocolate-coloured velvet curtains drape the windows. Bold coral rugs and headboards inject a pop of colour, while monochrome patterned scatter cushions dotted throughout each guest room ensure the room feels modern. Other updates include bedside lamps designed by Paris-based DCW Editions.
De Tokio a Lima Restaurant
De Tokio a Lima is a trendy gourmet restaurant located within the hotel and offers a fusion of Japanese and Peruvian flavours with a Mediterranean twist. Taking inspiration from Asian, South American, and Mediterranean kitchens, the flavours and techniques wow local and visiting foodies alike.
As part of the light-touch refurbishment throughout the hotel, De Tokio a Lima has new Japanese-style lamps placed either side of an iconic Roland Fisher piece of art. The new lights by local supplier, Decágono, are cleverly placed to create atmospheric shadows on the ceiling and highlight the artwork around the restaurant. The lounge area has also gotten an upgrade, now complete with four additional armchairs that are much more modern in contrast to the sofas. Modern in style and in colour – candy and rust – the updated lounge area elevates the space. The outside area of De Tokio a Lima now features copper-coloured sofas by TRIBÚ to give the outdoor terrace a pop of colour.
Rooftop
Guests can head up to the hotel’s rooftop to relax and recuperate on one of the new and improved comfortable sun loungers or take a dip in the rooftop’s plunge pool and hot tub. New to the rooftop is a much-needed covered area to ensure more shade on sunny days.
Up another level, in the ancient rooftop tower, guests can enjoy an afternoon aperitif or even a massage while admiring the panorama of Palma Bay, the gothic cathedral, and even the Tramuntana Mountains in the distance.
Art
Art enthusiasts will be met with a wave of emotions when spotting the added artworks of Roland Fischer, Guillem Nadal, Manolo Ballesteros and Carlos Irijalba throughout the hotel.
One of Roland Fischer’s portraits will catch guests’ eyes as soon as they enter Can Alomar’s lobby. His illusionistic “Chinese Pool Portraits” are meant to respond to the artist’s desire to isolate the protagonist from their geographical context.
For Nadal, his pieces engage in a long and introspective journey to decipher the chaotic codes of nature, the artist explores themes deeply intertwined with the unconscious and often brutal actions of humanity. Diners at De Tokio a Lima can spot one of his pieces above one of the dining tables in the restaurant.
Tucked away along one of Can Alomar’s hallways, one of Ballesteros’ pieces will immerse viewers in his energetic and dynamic work. The artist lets the painting express itself through form and brushwork, giving precedence to colour, gesture and emotion.
Irijalba’s work is driven by the principle of pertinence, the necessary or superfluous character of an object to cohabit the existing world. One of his artworks can also be spotted in the De Tokio a Lima lounge.
