What they say
Michelin Selected
Michelin
Many hotels make an attempt to connect with local culture and history; few are as successful as Pestana Rua Augusta.
In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
Step outside directly onto pedestrian Rua Augusta, just paces from the triumphal arch and the waterfront expanse of Praça do Comércio.
The rooms
Rooms feature pale wood floors, botanical wallpaper, and soundproofed original windows, with top-floor mansards gazing out toward São Jorge Castle.
Dogs stay too.
At the table
Olive serves Mediterranean dishes between cane-backed dining tables indoors and shaded sidewalk seating along pedestrian Rua Augusta.
How it began
Built during Lisbon's post-1755 earthquake reconstruction, the Pombaline corner structure originally held ground-floor shops beneath upper-level residential apartments.
