PRIME LOCATION

Boutique Hotel Can Cera is located in the Casco Antiguo (Old Town), inside the city walls in one of the most interesting parts of the city of Palma de Mallorca between Plaça Santa Eulàlia and Plaça San Francesc. This area was where Mallorcan nobility lived in their palatial houses amongst the medieval layout of narrow winding streets, churches and convents.

Many of Palma’s historic landmarks are within easy reach by foot, the Arab Baths (0.3km), Palma’s stunning Gothic Le Seu Cathedral (0.5km) and the Royal Palace of La Almudaina (0.6km).

Tip: If you fancy a swim, stroll around the bay to trendy Portixol, meaning ”port and sun” in the local Mallorquin dialect, with it’s small, curved sandy beach, a good selection of eateries and a relaxed, beachy vibe. Here you will find some great fish and seafood restaurants, and excellent tapas places.

ART, DECORATION & DESIGN

This former 17th century palace, set in a building dating back to the 13th century, has been completely renovated whilst keeping the original layout and many of the original features. A project undertaken by the businessman Miguel Conde Moragues and his architect wife Cristina Martí Crespí.

The interior decoration throughout combines palatial splendour, antique furnishing, high ceilings with contemporary art and Mallorcan fabrics transforming this hotel into a private palace in this historic neighbourhood.

Art abounds in the interior design of the hotel. The paintings in the restaurant and patio are by local artist, Carolina Amigó who bases her work on three main themes: Chaos, Fragility and the Individual. The contemporary art in the salons is by Monserrat Clausell who’s technique is based on her dealing with light and spaces whilst the Mallorcan artist Fernando Fabré also features prominently..

The large entrance into the stone patio leads on to reception via sculptures by Francica Marti and a giant Kentía palm. Adjacent is a curvaceous marble staircase leading to the palace’s original front door and reception room, now one of the hotel’s many highly decorated salons. There are four elegant salons, beautifully decorated and faithful to the original character. One of these leads off to Room 5 via a secret door. On the top floor is a light and airy sitting room, which doubles up as cosy TV room on a winter’s day.

ROOMS & SUITES 

The fourteen rooms and suites are elegant, warm and exclusively decorated with Mallorcan fabrics, traditional furniture and seagrass flooring, king sized beds, air-conditioning, Smart TV’s, DVD players and free Wi-Fi. All rooms and suites receive a turn-down & tidy-up service each evening too!
