Cappuccino Cafes are characterised by their stunningly unique architecture and design, and the quality and immaculate presentation of their cuisine.
Each Cafe brings together music, art and culture to create a truly unique and special experience for every customer.About Juan PicornellJuan Picornell Rowe was born in the Mallorcan village of Palmanova, in 1971.
Picornell had a vision for his first café at a young age, and knew exactly who he wanted to target and how. He dreamt of creating a magical and cosy home from home, inspired by New York’s classic bars and innovative hospitality, decoration and service.
In 1993 Cappuccino was born, and with it, it’s magic. A collage of countless and careful details related to decoration, location, music, service, product.
He handpicks every Cappuccino Café location carefully, opening only in special and unique destinations. Once chosen, he envisages a particular and special decoration for each one making no Café the same.
A perfect example of this is the old palace located at the number 53 of the central street San Miguel in Palma, which has become the flagship Cappuccino. This is where Juan is based, in a spacious and carefully decorated setting surrounded by contemporary art, one of his great passions which can be seen throughout his Cafes and the new hotel. From this location, the Cappuccino team have been able to create a new business model and concept that represents Mediterranean Mallorcan style.
Another of his great passions is music, as displayed in the carefully curated selection of music that is played across all the Cappuccino Cafes – he believes it to be the soundtrack of the Cappuccino’s magic. The bespoke selection of music is reflected in a wonderful collection of albums, and 2017 will see the tenth edition.
Picornell has admired and followed the work of Jacques Grange for some time as his favourite designer. HOTEL MAMÁ gave him perfect opportunity to collaborate with him on his first hotel venture, in the building he says he had dreamed of for years.About Jacques GrangeAfter completing his training at the École Boulle and the École Camondo, Grange made a career as a decorator in France and abroad from the 1970s. His main customers included Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, for whom he decorated the Château Gabriel, in Benerville-sur-Mer, in the style of In Search of Lost Time.
Regular customers include Isabelle Adjani, Princess Caroline of Monaco, Alain Ducasse, François Pinault, Robert Agostinelli, Valentino, Francis Ford Coppola and his Palazzo Margherita Hotel and Karl Lagerfeld.
In New York City, he provided the decoration of Paloma Picasso’s jewellery shop, of the Mark Hotel on Madison Avenue, and of the Barbizon Hotel.
Grange’s style is characterized by a harmony between traditional and contemporary tastes, with an assortment of styles that follow the line of Madeleine Castaing, who taught him the art of decoration.
