At a Glance
The perfect Lisbon bolthole on one of the capital’s main thoroughfares. Skilfully designed by Miguel Câncio Martins to weave heritage elements through clean, 21st-century lines, it stands behind a striking powder-blue, 18th century façade.

Review
This little hotel is a true gem which was at the forefront of the new wave of Lisbon hotels at the beginning of this century. The group specializeS in heritage projects, as their name implies, and have hotels dotted around Lisbon from the Art Deco Hotel Britannia to the 18th century Solar do Castello housed in the old kitchens of the Castle St. George which dominates Lisbon’s skyline.
Bedrooms here are fuss free, wood-paneled with a color palette of earth tones. There are good working desks, comfy chaise longues and bright white tiled bathrooms with showers and Molton Brown amenities.
There is no restaurant (although they do room service) but being right in the center of town means there is no shortage of places within walking distance to eat out.
Who Should Stay
Travelers who like quiet comfort and intend to spend more time out and about exploring than in their hotel.
