Lisbon, Portugal
Bairro Alto Hotel
Enjoy historic Lisbon in all its glory
Bairro Alto Hotel, a beautiful boutique hotel, is nestled in the historic downtown heart of Lisbon and combines style, bohemia and sophistication all with the classic charm of a different time. You’ll find it sandwiched between the bohemian Bairro Alto and the chic Chiado district, within easy reach of all the city’s sights.
With just 87 rooms and suites, this Lisbon luxury hotel has an intimate feel. Decked out in a varied palette of soft greys, rust reds and soothing blues and greens, all rooms have an individual feel, combining classic materials with the contemporary touch, and include main square or city views. The suites are bright and spacious, with rooms looking out over the city of Lisbon and the Tagus River – some featuring private balconies from which to admire the views.
Also complemented by river views, the fifth floor restaurant BAHR delivers sizzling flavours with flair from its open kitchen. Its adjoining terrace is a local hotspot, or head to the hotel’s rooftop bar, arguably one of the best in Lisbon, for a more exclusive atmosphere, best enjoyed with a sundowner in hand. Indulge your sweet tooth at The Patisserie, which serves up fresh pasteis de nata.
The hotel is perfectly positioned for exploring the city. It stands on the picturesque square of Praça de Camões, in a sector of the city beloved by artists and writers, which fuels the bohemian vibe you’ll feel around the hotel. Head to Chiado for some shopping, or stroll Lisbon’s characterful ochre streets to soak up the atmosphere. Or, for a re-invigoration of the senses, relax with a massage in the hotel’s ambient spa.
