1908 LISBOA HOTEL

More than just a hotel, 1908 Lisboa Hotel is an original way to discover the city of Lsibonne.

In the sophisticated yet relaxed, elegant yet unpretentious atmosphere of the hotel, in a blend that combines industrial aesthetics, retro charm and contemporary design, resonates a past that is both superb and troubled. Designed by architect Adães Bermudes, the building boasts one of Lisbon's most coveted architectural prizes: the Valmor Award.

From the nocturnal past, lived with intensity, sprinkled with excess and prohibitions, the ambience at the 1908 Lisboa Hotel is masterfully handled by a lighting scheme that resembles in every way that used by the performing arts. Warm tones of honey and pomegranate, geometries and patterns that combine in a playful and permanent trompe l'oeil, windows large and small, and the innocent desire to maintain intimacy, to keep a part of the secret, as in a gigantic boudoir just for those who know the password.

More than a hotel, it's a simple, seductive way of experiencing the hustle and bustle of Lisbon that has been created here to roam its alleyways, discover its luminosity and reveal all its secrets, or almost all of them, without ever compromising comfort or economizing on service. A hotel that embraces diversity, where everyone has their place. A place that's inclusive and curious, that adapts every day to the life of the street and its inhabitants, to its frenetic pace and its Sunday rhythm, its dance patterns and its weariness of hot summer days.

Infame, the 1908 Lisboa Hotel's legendary restaurant, is well worth a visit. At the helm of its inspiring cuisine, made with fresh, seasonal produce, is chef André Rebelo.
