The Baixa-Chiado neighbourhood of Lisbon has welcomed the opening of this 28-room boutique hotel. The 18th-century rejuvenated building has retro-contemporary décor inspired by the Portuguese aristocracy. AlmaLusa, meaning ‘Portuguese Soul’, is piled high with sentiments and tradition in addition to having over a dozen ‘all things Portuguese’ emblematic of Portugal. The hotel has an exterior terrace near the stately City Hall in the Terreiro do Paço square, a perfect spot in the sun for a drink before a morning stroll near the Tagus riverside.
