The voluminous lobby is the centrepiece of the historic hotel and has been transformed with a new glazed ceiling, flooding the space with natural light and showcasing the city’s unique blue sky. A spectacular interior garden has been created in the heart of the lobby while the introduction of new gold screens together with long blue velvet curtains in all corners reinforces the luxurious aesthetic and ambience of this new space.

The selected fabrics are mostly velvets with several patterns that all together reflect the perfect symbiosis between the classic and the contemporary while strategically located artworks create an air of restrained sophistication.

The new restaurant is inspired by the concept of ´cervejaria portuguesa’ or Portuguese brewery with a large central counter of emperor marble and sucupira wood at the heart of the new design. Large screens and a wine cellar have been introduced to give this space a new character while the existing elements of wood columns and chandeliers reference the hotel’s original decor.

The charismatic new restaurant offers an intimate atmosphere to rival anything the Portuguese capital has to offer.
