Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade
French sophistication in elegant Lisbon
Sofitel Lisbon Liberdade adds sophistication and classic luxury to one of Lisbon’s most stylish avenues, Avenida da Liberdade. If shopping is your thing, then you won’t be disappointed here, as the hotel is surrounded by high-fashion boutiques.
The hotel’s décor blends its French origins with a local touch, giving it a discreet elegance and refinement. Use of dark exotic woods, gold taupe and teal accents along with some Asian relics and works of art harking back to the period of the Portuguese discoveries lend the place a warm and welcoming atmosphere.
These touches make the Liberdade feel more like an intimate boutique hotel, rather than a big brand.
