To reinforce the Mallorquin style, the emphasis throughout is on craft and tactile design. Through shapes and patterns, a consciousness of humanity and an environment of tranquility is forged.

Beginning in the lobby, people are not only welcomed, but inspired to delight in what makes Spain so captivating. With this first impression comes the recurrent theme of life, a boundless and eternal luxury that is found throughout the hotel's 66 rooms, its four penthouse suites and five themed suites. A bouquet motif begins here and is discovered within the iron work, lamps and reception desk furniture. It is informal, inviting and uplifting. This space features a Tree of Life, setting the tone for everything a guest will experience while here.

Walls made of plaster tiles are completely monochromatic white and feature elements from the flower bouquet. Yellow curtains match the tone of the Mallorquin sun, bringing it into the room. Every portion of every room gifts guests with serenity. Themed suites are also available – giving guests recurrent surprises and delights. In the Naughty suite, guests are introduced to seductive materials and textures.
