OUR STORY

AlmaLusa Baixa/Chiado is located in the historic and most exclusive districts in Lisbon where you can find the best fashion stores, restaurants and nightlife as well as stunning monuments and genuine retail shops. The hotel has over a dozen extra little perks and services that cater to the guests from 'Tour Sunset Sailings', 'Old Town Tours', airport pickups and more extras. Designer Giano Gonçalves has skilfully incorporated a very Portuguese feel to the hotel, by using amenities from Portuguese brands such as Castelbel product textiles and soaps, high-quality bath towels by Lima Mayer, and Colmol beddings and mattresses. He has exquisitely woven the original flagstone floors and antique fireplaces with 21st-century adjustments. The bedrooms and suites have a muted palette of soft brown and grey rich textures, with showers having a mixture of black slate and white tile floorings. 

There are 28 rooms and 2 residences, including 12 spacious suites. All of the rooms are equipped with high-speed Portugal Telecom Wi-Fi, smart multi-channel TVs, RECO SuperSignal radios and heating and cooling systems. The suites have Delta coffee machines and tea stations, Vitalis water and microwaves as well as a spacious entrance with largely sized closets to fit all your clothes in. The power shower is by Sanindusa, with enough power to turn to a bit of a steam room. For the warmer months, you can take advantage of the LG Air conditioning. Additionally, there is a pillow menu, and the beds all use an anti-allergic duvet from Colmol Spa Premium Mattresses with 100% luxury percale cotton sheets. 

“Delfina – A Fine Portuguese Deli” is AlmaLusa's food & wine concept for all day in an al fresco dining serving fresh, seasonal and Portuguese inspired brasserie-style cuisine in an informal and relaxed atmosphere with fabulous local wines. You can count on Delfina, at any time, for tapas & aperitifs, sandwiches, salads and desserts.
