To stay at the Hotel Avenida Palace is to sample the lifestyle of Portugal’s 19th century aristocracy. Built in 1892, this became Lisbon’s first luxury hotel. Today, its romantic, Belle Epoque exterior makes the Avenida Palace one of Lisbon’s finest architectural landmarks. Ideally situated on
Restauradores Square, in the heart of this historic city, the hotel offers inspiring views over Saint George Castle and the Avenida da Liberdade.
Having recently undergone a complete renovation, the hotel retains its classical styling but enjoys many modern additions.
The 82 opulent bedrooms, including 16 suites and an indulgent Presidential suite
are individually and elegantly furnished in a variety of styles ranging from Louis XV
to Empire. Each room boasts sumptuous fabrics, marble bathrooms, and antique furniture. The original furnishings of the hotel are by one of England’s great Victorian design entrepreneurs, Sir John Blundell Maple, and many of these original pieces remain in the bedrooms and public areas today.
