Wine & Books Lisboa Wine & Books Lisboa

Wine & Books Lisboa captures Lisbon’s soul—where historical churches meet riverside modernity, and stories are lived as much as they are read.

Set in Ajuda, across from the neoclassical Memória Church, Wine & Books Lisboa anchors itself in one of Lisbon’s most storied quarters. Just steps away lie the 18th-century Ajuda gardens, Portugal’s oldest, where centuries-old trees from former colonies rise above statues and a baroque fountain alive with seahorses and mythical creatures. From this vantage point, views sweep over Belém, the Tagus River, and the 25th of April Bridge.

The hotel offers 24 rooms, each a study in refined simplicity. Standard rooms look toward the tiled Ajuda neighborhood, Superior rooms open onto the façade of Memória Church, and Deluxe and Premium categories add balconies for private views of Lisbon’s sunlit skyline.

At Tasca da Memória – Lisboa, tradition and innovation meet in a space that already feels like part of the city’s fabric. The restaurant balances Portuguese heritage recipes with contemporary flair, offering refined service without losing the warmth of a neighborhood gathering place. Outside, the bar and terrace open to sun and sky, a sheltered spot for coffee, a light meal, or an unhurried drink. By day, it’s relaxed and welcoming, by night it shifts into a more spirited bar scene.

The Spa is a compact retreat with sauna, Turkish bath, and invigorating contrast baths, along with tailored treatments. After a morning exploring hilly streets or trails in nearby Monsanto Park, this space offers a restorative counterpoint to the city’s energy.

Much like the city itself, Wine & Books Lisboa thrives on contrasts—past and present, solemnity and conviviality, reflection and movement. Here, the story of Lisbon isn’t just told, it’s lived, line by line.
