In a lively part of town
Where things happen: restaurants, shops, people.
The front doors open directly onto Avenida dos Aliados, while the rear exit leads straight into Rua do Almada's nightlife.
The rooms
Botanical prints and oxblood-painted window frames meet marble bathrooms stocked with Castelbel toiletries.
The courtyard pool
Bring a swimsuit.
A heated outdoor lap pool sits in the central courtyard, surrounded by checkerboard tiles and leafy planters.
The gym
The 24-hour fitness room is paneled in light wood and stocked with cardio machines and free weights.
Ilícito Restaurant & Bar
Sofia Torres circus murals wrap around the cocktail lounge, anchored by a counter draped in gathered red velvet.
