Bairro Alto Hotel is a privately owned boutique property set in one of Lisbon’s most fashionable and lively areas. It has a quirky charm that is effortlessly luxurious and welcoming because of its small scale and personalized service.
Set on a corner of Camões Square, and with Lisbon’s famous yellow trams passing right by the lobby door, the hotel is on the doorstep of the vibrant Bairro Alto area that gives it its name.

The building itself goes back to the 1600s. In the 19th century, it was made into L’Europe Hotel, and many original features have been preserved to help create the treasure before you today.
Pritzker-winning Portuguese architect Eduardo Souto Moura oversaw a 2018 restoration that added 32 rooms, a fresh restaurant concept, an events space and a fully equipped gym.
