This hotel is beautiful, swanky, classy, modern, classical, elegant, luxurious, sultry, fun and quirky all in one. The entrance leads to the cozy lobby and reception desk area on the right and a gorgeous bar and restaurant on the left. First thing you will notice upon entering are the wonderful furnishings by design firm Moooi which are unlike any I have ever seen in a hotel. The bar was tended by mixologist Pedro who served us delicious cocktails while speaking to us in perfect English. The service by all staff is friendly, attentive, courteous and unpretentious. The entire staff went out of their way for us. For example, I told the manager on duty that we would not be able to have breakfast due to an early tour time constraint and he offered to have breakfast boxed up for us to take with us to the tour. Marcello came at the promised time and delivered the box to our room. Must request this the day before though. Our room (508) was beautifully decorated (again Moooi) and furnished albeit a bit tight compared to US standards. Great colors and design. Bed was firm which wife loved and I could do without but the bedding we both loved. AC works well. There is a mini-fridge. There was no road or city noise in our room and it faces the non-street side of the hotel. Fresh air available through bedroom and bathroom windows. We opted for an included breakfast which was truly one of the best hotel breakfasts I have ever had. Our breakfast waiter, also named Pedro, took great care of us and explained the buffet items and even offered to have additional food items (included with breakfast price) made in the kitchen for us. The buffet had fresh and ripe fruits, various breads, meats, cheeses, sweets, teas, coffee, and flavored water. While at breakfast, staff member Beatriz recommended that we eat dinner at the hotel later that day so we made a reservation. The menu was inventive and the food beautifully presented and well prepared. The manager on duty had extensive wine knowledge so we let him recommend the wine for us. The wine menu is quite extensive. The chef came by to make sure we were satisfied which is always a nice touch. Overall we were very satisfied with the whole experience and I am certain this newly opened hotel (late 2023) will soon rocket to the top of the Lisbon hotels TripAdvisor rating list.
