In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Praia dos Pescadores sits two minutes away on foot, and the surrounding Old Town streets fill with bars after dark.
The rooms
Rooms are finished with handcrafted macramé and wave motifs, and minibars hold Portuguese wine and Super Bock.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
Pink cafe chairs sit beside the rooftop pool, and the heated indoor pool below has swan-neck water cascades.
The spa
Blue mosaic tiles line the passage to Genki Spa, where the steam room has curved heated benches.
At the table
Breakfast brings pastries and chilled sparkling wine before whitewashed hillside views, and cocktails travel out to the sun terrace.
How it began
The building operated previously as Hotel California, reopening in 2025 following a five-month renovation by Mercan Group.

The eight vibes

Built around a vision. Even the door handles have a designer.

Cared for at every turn. The bath is drawn before you ask.
Local
It could only be here. You wake up knowing where you are.
Social
Where the city goes out. The bar is full and the night is young.
Heritage
A building with a story. Once a palace, a monastery, a station.
Wellness
You leave feeling new. Rest, sweat, soak and sleep like a stone.
Classic
The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.
Resort
A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
The scene
Lively
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Central
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Quiet
Away from the crowds. Getting around takes intention.
Secluded
A place apart: the property is the destination.
