Mid-century modernist townhouse
Mid-century armchairs, a crackling lobby fireplace, and a spinning vinyl turntable set a relaxed, retro mood just off Avenida da Liberdade.
What it’s good at

V Rooftop pours sunset cocktails over castle views, joined by a ground-floor bistrot and fireside lobby lounge.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Set on a quiet street in Santo António, the hotel sits a short uphill stroll from the gardens and boutiques of Príncipe Real.
The rooms
Rooms pair forest green or terracotta walls with dark wood furnishings, vintage phones, Claus Porto toiletries, and custom cocktail trolleys with gin.
The pool
Bring a swimsuit.
Dark mosaic tiles and timber decking surround the heated subterranean pool, equipped with hydrotherapy jets and a water cascade.
The sauna and gym
A wood-paneled sauna provides warmth underground, and the dusky pink fitness room holds free weights and cardio equipment.
Dogs stay too.
V Rooftop Bar
Low sofas sit beside a lush vertical garden, with views stretching across Lisbon's rooftops toward São Jorge Castle.
Restaurant
Blue Bistrot
Marble tables and curved navy velvet banquettes fill the dining room, which serves contemporary Portuguese dishes throughout the day.
At the table
The Hangout serves drinks from a retro counter, and striped umbrellas shade the street-level outdoor dining deck.
How it began
Lisbon designer Daniela Franceschini reimagined the townhouse in 2019, blending authentic mid-century furniture with pieces crafted by local Portuguese artists.
