Easily identifiable by its mint-green tiled exterior, the Palomar aims to draw an artsy
crowd with its Escher-esque patterned floors and René Magritte suite. But there’s
nothing surreal about the attention to detail; staffers are known to leave notes
offering their assistance and the bathrooms are generously stocked with L’Occitane
products. Alligator-print carpeting and persimmon wood furniture give a decidedly
international flair, and the Fifth Floor restaurant is heralded for its
take on southern French cooking. All in all, it’s an ideal place to get in touch with
your inner artiste.
