What they say
One Michelin Key
Michelin
Also in Condé Nast Traveler, Wallpaper* and AFAR.
They’ve managed to transform this 1533-vintage aristocratic home into something more than a restoration, thanks to the work of designer Jaime Beriestain.
“Occupying a grand 16th-century palace, the property's original details like the multi-hued marble floors, coffered, stuccoed and gilded ceilings, and ornate frescoes, have been carefully overseen by heritage experts.”
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on pedestrian Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, the entrance sits steps from Avenida da Liberdade and historic theaters.
The rooms
Soft grey interiors feature hand-painted Portuguese ceramics and pink Alentejo marble bathrooms, with deep soaking tubs in select rooms.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
An 18-meter heated pool sits on a raised terrace overlooking the private gardens and terracotta rooftops.
The vitality pool
Natural light filters through a circular skylight onto the heated indoor vitality pool and loungers.
The spa
Treatment rooms offer massage and skin therapies using Natura Bissé formulas and local botanical oils.
Dogs stay too.
Restaurant
Condes de Ericeira
Portuguese market dishes are served in a grand hall under restored eighteenth-century ceiling frescoes.
The hotel’s renovations were done lovingly, and many original features remain to this day; from the 18th-century flooring to the stunning painted ceilings and sweeping spiral staircase.
At the table
Boémio Cocktail Lounge pours drinks among original stone walls, and O Jardim serves wine facing the gardens.
How it began
Built in 1533, the aristocratic residence survived the 1755 earthquake before serving as home to a nineteenth-century Portuguese prime minister.
