What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Architect Adães Bermudes designed this art nouveau corner building in 1908, and its domed roof and sinuous facade won the Valmor Prize that year.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Largo do Intendente unfolds at your doorstep, surrounded by immigrant-run eateries, natural wine spots, and lively nightlife in Arroios.
The rooms
Top-floor attic rooms sit under sloped eaves, while the King of Dome duplex winds a spiral staircase into the historic cupola.
Infame Restaurant
Spread across a ground floor and mezzanine, the dining room serves Portuguese dishes shaped by the neighborhood's multicultural flavors.
At the table
Drinks are poured across a dark counter beneath a glowing neon sign and geometric floor tiles.
How it began
The corner building served as luxury apartments, a market hall, and a lottery shop before its 2017 rebirth as a hotel.
