Not just a hotel, a feast for the senses…
The renovation of this hotel was carried out with as much care, expertise and artistic attention as a master would give his most beloved painting. Like any great work of art, it is framed perfectly by both its setting and the majesty of the building. Sitting on one of Lisbon’s most charming squares, Praҁa de Camões, locations don’t get much prettier and the traditional architecture of the former consulate fits the scene perfectly. Once inside, you realise there is nothing average about the interior of this hotel either. With on-trend retro furnishings matched with industrial, contemporary elements and pops of eye-catching art, it is stylish to a fault.
The hotel’s first floor is home to its own exhibition space, where a variety of artists are displayed and both locals and guests alike gather to bask in the beauty of these works. Each of the 12 suites and apartments offers its own private exhibition, with pieces from Lisbon’s top galleries adorning the spaces. With high-quality furnishings and fittings bringing both comfort and style, these tranquil, light-filled rooms provide an artistic sanctuary away from the city.
You’ll be happy losing track of time in this hotel of wonders, with the gorgeous open-fronted bar and cafe providing further reason to bask in the aesthetic glory of your new home. With Portuguese bakeries, fresco-filled churches and the oceanfront all tantalisingly close, there are plenty more temptations that await.
