This 1923 classic sports Art Deco-inspired interiors which perfectly complement the building’s historic bones.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set directly on Avenida dos Aliados, the hotel places historic cafes, São Bento station, and Baixa's bustling streets right outside your door.
The rooms
Lacquered woodwork and jewel-toned fabrics set a vintage tone, finished with brass control panels and gleaming marble bathrooms.
The indoor pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Underground at Grand Bleu Spa, the heated pool sits beneath marble columns and an emerald geometric-textured wall.
The spa and gym
Cushioned loungers line the subterranean relaxation lounge, accompanied by a sauna, Turkish hammam, and mirrored 24-hour gym.
Restaurant
Le Monument
Michelin-starred Le Monument applies French technique to northern Portuguese ingredients beneath marble columns and an Art Deco staircase.
At the table
Bar Américain pours vintage port at polished counters, and Yakuza serves Japanese cuisine beside decorative samurai armor.
How it began
Built in 1923 on Avenida dos Aliados, this neoclassical landmark once housed the legendary Café Monumental before its revival as a luxury hotel.
