The interiors are Louis XVI-meets–Art Deco, and the amenities, both in-room and out, are absolutely first-rate; there’s a spa, an indoor and outdoor pool...
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Perched on a quiet hill beside Eduardo VII Park, the hotel sits a short walk from the boutiques along Avenida da Liberdade.
The rooms
Refurbished 1950s-inspired quarters feature custom wood minibars and marble baths, with most opening onto terraces framing Eduardo VII Park.
The outdoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Heated year-round in garden greenery, the curved outdoor pool plays music underwater beside red loungers and cabanas.
The spa and gym
An 18-metre heated indoor pool sits alongside eucalyptus saunas and a rooftop gym with a 400-metre running track.
Dogs stay too.
Varanda Restaurant
Lavish breakfast buffets give way to formal lunches, with tables on an outdoor terrace looking over the treetops.
Today, you’ll still witness its original art deco and Louis XVI-style splendor in the lavish marble-covered lobby and Almada Negreiros Lounge spotlighting contemporary Portuguese art.
At the table
Michelin-starred CURA serves seasonal Portuguese tasting menus in an intimate dining room beneath an undulating bronze ribbon ceiling.
How it began
Commissioned in 1959 to showcase Portuguese luxury to the world, the building displays over 1,000 works of midcentury Portuguese art.
