January 20, 2020 ... El Llorenç Parc de la Mar is set in the heart of La Calatrava, one of the oldest neighborhoods in Palma, Mallorca. Now open, the hotel offers 33 exclusive guest rooms and an infinity pool on the multi-terraced rooftop with a cocktail bar. Whether relaxing in Balinese style sunbeds, or stopping by for drinks, guests can enjoy sweeping views of Palma Bay, the Cathedral and charming rooftops of the old town. Wellness facilities feature spa treatments from the luxury Spanish brand Natura Bissé and an indoor pool. Dining options include DINS Santi Taura, a new destination restaurant from one of the island’s most respected chefs Chef Santi Taura.
Accommodations
The hotel interiors are the work of Swedish designer, Magnus Ehrland. Tapping into the local history and Moorish influence on the island, Ehrland has incorporated the use of geometric motifs throughout the design. This rich aesthetic pays homage to the history of the neighborhood – where one can find the remnants of ancient Arab Baths and the architectural gem - La Almudaina - a former Muslim fortress, turned royal palace of the monarchs of the Kingdom of Mallorca.
Chef Santi Taura
El Llorenç is home to a unique gastronomic offer spearheaded by renowned Majorcan Chef Santi Taura. DINS Santi Taura offers an experience inspired by the island’s traditional cuisine, made with locally sourced seasonal ingredients. Bringing together elements from sea and land to your table, the chef offers seafood from local waters, prized black pork from an island producer and more unique specialties all within a distinct setting.
Restaurant El Llorenç
The Restaurant El Llorenç is Chef Santi Taura's new venture where you can enjoy the chef's dishes, selected from the recipe book of Mallorca using locally sourced seasonal produce, in the à la carte format. Diners will have more options to choose from whilst enjoying the traditional dishes of the island.
Ç The Rooftop
Atop the three-tiered rooftop terrace, you'll find a cocktail bar where one can watch the sunset, see mega yachts sail by, or wile away the hours 'til dusk turns into a starry night canopy. The 360-degree view is nothing less than breathtaking. Snack and bites and creative and delicious beverages are designed by talented mixologists.
Ç Wellness Studio
When it’s time to restore and refresh, guests will find a haven of tranquility where they can indulge in beauty enhancing and body revitalizing treatments from Natura Bissé. The spa will feature a 14-meter indoor thermal pool, sauna, Turkish hammam, ice fountain, along with cascade and aromatic showers. The gym is open 24 hours and is equipped with the latest fitness technology.
“We have added a distinctive boutique hotel to the city, with a unique look and feel, and amazing food and beverage options from Chef Santi Taura. We are honoring the island's local history, yet are modern and tech savvy for today's global nomads. Our location is ideal, and to top it off - we offer a killer view and amazing cocktails from our rooftop," says Joan Comas, General Manager.
"Creating an additional hotel in the luxury segment in Palma is challenging, but we believe that we created something that will speak to a clientele who appreciate the distinctive design which is woven into the fabric of the island's history. That combined with the extraordinary talents of the Chef Santi Taura, we hope to have a winning combination," says Rubén Zamora, General Director.
Location
El Llorenç Parc de la Mar stands in the ancient quarter known as La Calatrava, in the heart of Palma’s historic center. This emblematic quarter is a melting pot that represents the roots of our history and culture; a meeting point for the Jewish, Muslim and Christian traditions that gave rise to Majorca’s origins and customs. Highlights include the Arab baths, the Church of Santa Fe and the Church of Monti-Sion and the Convent of Santa Clara, where the nuns of the Order have lived and prayed for more than 750 years. The quarter is located just a short distance from some of the city’s major landmarks, including the Palma Cathedral, Almudaina Palace, Cort Square or the S’Hort del Rei Gardens.
El Llorenç Parc de la Mar is located at Plaza de Llorenç Villalonga, 4, 07001, Palma de Mallorca, Spain. Visit our website: www.elllorenc.com Follow us on Instagram and Facebook For reservations, please contact: info@elllorenc.com or reservations@elllorenc.com Tel: +34 971 67 77 70
