On Rua dos Sapateiros, a couple of minutes from Praça do Comércio and the Baixa district, this 4-star hotel occupies a renovated Lisbon building with a bold decorative stance: contemporary art is everywhere, from the hallways to the rooms. It suits travelers who want to sleep in the heart of the historic city without giving up comfort.
The location
The Baixa is the nerve center of Lisbon: everything is within walking distance from here. The Chiado, Alfama, the Tagus, the main shopping streets. The flip side: it is also one of the busiest parts of the city, with the noise and activity that come with that, especially in the evening and on weekends. Street-facing rooms can get loud at times.
Rooms and comfort
The property offers both classic hotel rooms and apartments with a kitchenette, handy for longer stays or families. The decor plays up original artwork and bold colors: each space has its own visual identity. The comfort level matches the standards of an urban 4-star, with air conditioning and Wi-Fi included.
Services and extras
The front desk is open 24/7, which makes late arrivals after a flight easy. Breakfast is available on site. The apartment option especially appeals to travelers who prefer to handle their own meals, in an area where tourist restaurants are plentiful but uneven.

The location is remarkably good, right in the center of Baixa. Rua dos Sapateiros is a quiet street, even though it is located in the immediate vicinity of the very lively Rua Augusta.
There is a strong focus on the decor. It is a bit alternative and post industrial, which we liked. Others will probably like it less.
The service is friendly and helpful, with a few tips given for visiting the city. The young man who hosts the breakfast (buffet style) is really very kind, attentive, and smiley.
The rooms are very decent, with perhaps just one complaint about the bedding, which I did not find very comfortable. My daughter, on the other hand, loved her travel crib!
Finally, the furnished terrace at the top of the building, on the 7th floor, is top notch. It offers nice views of the city, which in my opinion are not far from being as good as the ones offered by the Elevador de Santa Justa located a stone's throw away.
