A stylish centrally located hotel overlooking the Paseo del Borne
Set in the heart of Palma, on the tree-lined avenue of Paseo del Borne, you'll find the new and beautifully decorated Can Alomar hotel.
If you already know the Can Cera and Calatrava Hotels, you'll be in familiar territory with this hotel's mix of modern yet comfortable styling which mixes lots of natural colours and textures.
The hotel has bags of history - it stands on the former site of a gothic-style palace, built in the middle of the 15th century. It was originally known as Can Thomás des Predís des Born, taking its name from its first owners, the Thomás family, a prosperous and influential medieval family of merchants from Mallorca.
This residence reached the height of its splendour during the 16th and 17th centuries, throughout which various renovations were carried out, as the building was adapted to the tastes and architectural trends of the period. It is located on the Paseo del Borne, an ancient and traditional site which historically was the scene of jousting and other combat tournaments, along with many other festivities relating to the proclamations of monarchs. In later years, the Paseo del Borne, the most beautiful entrance to the city, was the favourite meeting place for members of Palma society and where they chose to spend their moments of leisure and free time.
There are 16 modern, bright and spacious rooms, including three “Can Alomar” Suites, covering an area of approximately 55sq meters, seven Junior Suites with an area of approximately 45sq meters and six Deluxe rooms with an area of around 40sq meters overlooking the Paseo del Borne, calle Sant Feliu or a beautiful interior gardening courtyard. All rooms will be equipped with King Size beds, spacious walk-in wardrobes and large modern bathrooms. The hotel will also have two connecting rooms and a room suitable for disabled guests.
The rooms are spacious, bright, quiet, comfortable and very welcoming, combining contemporary design with period furniture.
The common areas include the Lounge, a beautiful, warm and stylish space, with comfortable sofas for resting and relaxing as you chat in front of the fire. This space has a terrace overlooking the iconic Paseo del Borne, equipped with welcoming furniture, where enjoying an aperitif or a coffee, at any time of day, is a wonderful experience.
A library, with a reading area and Internet access for hotel guests and members of our club, complete the services available for a special stay. The top floor accommodates The Solarium Terrace, equipped with a massage area, loungers, a Jacuzzi and plunge pool, providing relaxation exclusively for our guests. It also boasts The Viewing Tower, with comfortable sofas, offering greater privacy, as well as stunning panoramic views of the city’s old town. An exclusive corner from which guests can admire the Cathedral, the Almudaina Royal Palace, the Bay of Palma and even the Tramuntana mountain range.
