Art Deco
This delightful boutique hotel residence is in the historic centre of Lisbon. It is located in a peaceful street amidst many other historic houses just off the Avenida da Liberdade. The hotel is close to the Botanical Gardens and is conveniently close to all the sights of Lisbon including the National Theatre, St George’s Castle, the Calouste Gulbenkian Museum, the Museum of Modern Art and the Museu de Artes Decorativas.
This unique boutique hotel in Lisbon’s quiet historic district is delightfully charming. The building was designed in the 1940s by Portuguese architect Cassiano Branco and has recently been restored to highlight the fabulous Art Deco style and ambiance of its former glory.
The hotel lobby and entrance hall are located in an impressive marble columned space with comfortable armchairs and a beautiful polished wood reception desk. The spacious Imperio bar is also part of this welcoming space and is usually humming with social activity. In contrast, the public lounge is a place to sit quietly next to the open fire with a good book. Due to its intimate size, this boutique hotel retains the air of an exclusive club rather than an impersonal luxury hotel.
The 33 guest rooms within this boutique hotel are spacious with warm colours and classical furniture in keeping with the Art Deco era. The wall lights and wooden furniture are elegant, classic pieces. The bedding tastefully matches the arm chairs and window dressings. The period marble bathrooms are restored right down to the most minute detail including the chrome taps. They are both practical and unusual and come with bathrobe and Carven luxury toiletries. Air conditioning, a personal safe, satellite TV and high speed internet access in the rooms satisfy all guests’ needs.
Other amenities within this townhouse boutique hotel include a buffet breakfast, library, and excellent personal service from all the well-trained staff and the concierge. This is the ideal boutique hotel for those who like homely personal comforts within a luxury hotel environment.
