New Mediterranean breezes with contemporary touches are blowing in the luxurious St. Regis Mardavall hotel, an icon in Mallorca. And it is that You don't turn 20 every day . To celebrate it, the hotel has opted to take a dip in vitality redesigning its mythical bar and its Michelin Star hand in hand with two design geniuses.
Located on the Costa d'en Blanes, just 10 minutes from the center of Palma, the five-star resort that is part of the portfolio of Marriott Bonvoy has commissioned the renovation of the St. Regis Bar to Lazaro Rosa-Violan and the redesign of its award-winning it's smoke to the London architectural firm HKS.

A BAR OF ARTISTS
the bar is the heart of each and every one of the properties of the firm throughout the world, since the culture of cocktail is very related to the brand . The founder of the first St. Regis, Colonel John Jacob Astor IV, was precisely known for organizing social events with personalities of art and culture from all over the world.
Because of that cultural baggage of artistic encounters that both the St. Regis brand and the island of Mallorca have, the studio of Lázaro Rosa-Violán proposed the “Artists Bar” as a concept for the redesign of the St. Regis Bar.

Art rules in this new space , with works such as the impressive mural signed by Ramon Henry, that evokes and transmits the essence of Mallorca, where the cocktail bar is the main protagonist. Also the local , because the interior designer's own memories have inspired him to select the colours, the textures of the fabrics and the furniture for the different rooms.
Meeting place to share with friends in various environments (achieved through a set of fireplaces, rugs and bookcases), the lounge, the bar, the sherry room, the library or the terrace invite you to enjoy an inspiring atmosphere.
“For us it was important that everything transpire that relaxation that is reached as soon as you set foot on this island”, says Lázaro Rosa-Violán.
The new spaces of the St. Regis Bar.
For this reason, they have been chosen natural materials (wood and stone) and colorful but cool fabrics like the canvas, the thread or the fabric of llengües , in combination with a color palette dominated by “the olive greens of nature and the cauldrons and roses of the earth or the sunsets , lightening them with fresher elements such as crude oils and ochres”, adds Rosa-Violán.

A STAR WITH A LOT OF ART
Without abandoning the hotel's relationship with art and in perfect harmony with the bar, the new design of the Michelin-starred restaurant it's smoke It is signed by the London architecture studio HKS.
The pieces that dress its walls come from the St. Regis Mardavall Private Art Collection, giving the space a relaxed residential air that, according to the study, “reflects the atmosphere of a contemporary estate of art collectors in the Spanish Hamptons.
There is no shortage of works by local Spanish artists, such as the tapestry designed by Adriana Meunie for Es Fum and the sculptures of Joan Bennassar from the series "Les menades del mar d'avall", which decorate its wonderful terrace overlooking the sea.

He was key in the redesign create a restaurant with a strong sense of place , which reflects the character, tradition and local crafts of the island. Thus, stone, wood, touches of bronze and fabrics in soft neutral tones star in this new stage of Es Fum.
The restaurant balances stone tones reminiscent of the Majorcan limestone mountains with softer tones than recreate the landscape, creating a romantic oasis and a tribute to the earth.
Upholstered sofas and wooden chairs decorate the interior of the Es Fum restaurant.
It is worth looking at the details. For example, the curtains are adorned with a Majorcan language pattern contemporary or the rug , custom designed by the Italian firm Loloey, is inspired by the work of Joan Miró.
Of special beauty are its floors with geometric patterns in limestone or the fireplace created with a stone similar to the traditional marés. Also discreet are the chosen fabrics, with powdered velvets and soft leathers in nude colors covering the wooden sofas and armchairs made to measure by HKS.

Located between the cliffs and the marina of Puerto Portals, some natural stone round arches frame the facade and extensive garden facing the sea of this resort with 125 rooms and suites where to discover the magic of chef Miguel Navarro , the calm of his Arabella Spa or his revamped bar.
The gastronomic offer of the resort is complemented by the restaurant aqua , a mixture of bistro and brasserie, and with the theme nights and rituals of the St. Regis, such as the Champagne Sabering or the St. Regis Afternoon Tea.
In short, this summer we have many excuses to surrender to this Majorcan oasis.
