At Hotel Bairro in Lisbon, the ambiance is stylish without pretense, and Portuguese culture enriches everything from interior design to cuisine.
EXPERIENCE
Did you know that Lisbon has an annual average of 3,300 hours of sunshine? Hotel Bairro Alto has clearly drawn design inspiration from this weather, from their sunny yellow exterior to the inviting, Mediterranean-style rooms.
Each of these 55 warm spaces is decorated in traditional Portuguese colors - ochre, white, blue, and terracotta - with tactile wood and wicker furniture, plus Brazilian hardwood floors. Rooms are stylish, without feeling uninviting; a theme noticed throughout the hotel.
Be sure to enjoy a gourmet meal at Flores - it was voted one of the 20 top restaurants in Lisbon, for its traditional Portuguese cuisine fused with Mediterranean flavors. Naturally, the next stop would be Hotel Bairro Alto's three-level bar, each offering a different environment to suit your mood. And the Igloo bar? Cool, naturally.
