VALVERDE HOTEL – RELAIS & CHÂTEAUX

The Valverde Hotel – Relais & Châteaux is located in Avenida da Liberdade, one of the main and most luxurious arteries of Lisbon, never having lost sight of its historical past as one of the wealthiest areas of the old romantic Lisbon.

Before being named Avenida da Liberdade, the old Public Promenade was the stage for displays of opulence, where Lisbon’s high society strolled around to see and to be seen. The concept behind Valverde Hotel – Relais & Châteaux is this Lisbon of times gone by. It reinterprets the memory of the old Avenue, creating a friendly and welcoming space and offering a personalized service. It is an oasis of comfort in discreet luxury, right in the middle of a busy avenue.

José Pedro Vieira and Diogo Rosa Lã are responsible for the decoration, the building’s restoration and for turning the space into a sort of an extension of our home with a strong intimate environment. Each bedroom is painted in a different, well defined and full of personality color. Just like any typical Lisbon house, it has a patio with a magnificent garden lined by trees, where guests can feel comfortable and relaxed, and order a drink from the bar or enjoy the afternoon while tasting the home made delicacies of the Afternoon Tea at “Sítio Valverde”.

The “Sítio Valverde” Restaurant-Bar faces the patio and it is a very unique area where guests can enjoy a meal or a snack any time of the day. In line with the Hotel’s aesthetics, the vintage and modern furniture combine with eighteenth century engravings as well as with decorative, diverse and eclectic lighting…

The Sítio Valverde is characterized by it’s signature Portuguese menu by Chef Carla Sousa, and has two separate parts: the indoor area, providing shelter on winter days, and the outdoor zone, which is ideal for hot days where the flowers and vegetation, the reflection pool and the broad range of surfaces create private and intimate places that invite one to relax.

HERITAGE AVENIDA LIBERDADE HOTEL

Location

Heritage Avenida Liberdade Hotel is located on the corner of exclusive Avenida da Liberdade and Largo da Anunciada, offering a calm and intimate atmosphere, next to the Lavra funicular. The Heritage Avenida Liberdade Hotel is a fully restored, late eighteenth century building, the decoration of which was entrusted to Miguel Câncio Martins.

The restoration maintains all the elements of the eighteenth century façade. The Pombaline azulejo tiles inside the building have been restored, together with the wooden shutters with their original iron-fittings and several items such as the furniture of the ancient herbalist.

Câncio Martins is internationally famous for his interventions in spaces such as Thiou and the Buddha Bar in Paris, Strictly Hush in London and Man Ray in New York and his distinctive trademark is evident in the ample and cosmopolitan space of the hotel lobby.
