About the location.
Text Constant Lisbon’s most iconic address.
Located in the heart of Lisbon, our historic Hotel wears the cultural heart and soul of Portugal on its sleeve.
Inside, art-deco sensibilities mingle with an updated Louis XVI style, and a collection of important contemporary local artwork fills our halls.
Outside, views of the city’s rolling hills and brightly tiled exteriors spread out before you.
After spending the day exploring the city sights, many just steps from the Hotel, we invite you for a seasonally inspired, Michelin-starred gastronomic experience at CURA restaurant.
