Palma suite

When we started with the renovation and looking at other suites in Palma, we thought about being original and preserving parts of the building’s past and its former owners.

On entering the suite, the main feature is the large and comfortable bed, which occupies a central position. To compliment it further, not only a padded headboard was installed, but the entire wall was transformed into a huge headboard. To create this, two elements were used, on the one hand a wallpaper that evokes a Caribbean landscape, a territory that the first owners of the house knew well since it was there where they had their main business, a cigar factory, whose products they sold throughout Europe and that for generations was the main source of income for the family. To give more relevance to the scene, we decided to place it behind a large window made with the windows rescued from the restoration of the apartment. On both sides of the bed, two small tables made of washed tropical wood appear to come out of the mural itself, as if taking shape and we could touch it. With these two elements and subtle indirect lighting we create an illusion, a trompe l’oeil that allows us to look out from our suite in Palma to the Caribbean where perhaps, why not, could be our next destination. Whilst at the same time we are creating our own small tribute to the family that in the 19th century frequented the two seas, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean.

To complete this suite in Palma we have created two other environments, on the one hand a living area with a comfortable sofa and a coffee table that allows us to have both a reading area by the window and a comfortable space in which to have breakfast or chat after a day of exploring the delights of Palma. Nowadays, no space for travelers is complete without an area for teleworking, in Suite Flamingo we recognize that functional space needs to be comfortable, for this we have created a high frieze using again elements of the reform in which the dedicated work of the old craftsmen is appreciated and that like everything that is handmade is something unique. In this sense we must mention that if anyone had experience of working whilst traveling then it was the former owners who sailed the seas to provide Palma with tobacco and other then exotic products, thus preserving the original spirit while adapting to new needs, past and present united in a space designed to generate unforgettable memories for our guests.

Beyond the photos we can take, essential to activate our memory, we want the travelers who choose us to remember the sensations, to remember that for one night, for a few hours, they were not only in Palma but they were part of its history, part of the memories of a place that somehow is already a little bit theirs.
