Sublime Lisboa, Amoreiras, Lisbon, Portugal - Explore & Book

"Naming a hotel ‘Sublime’ sets high expectations, and Sublime Lisboa delivers in spades. It’s a treat for all five senses: Sophisticated, colourful and eclectic interiors, a calm ambience, heavenly-scented organic bathroom amenities, delicious all-day breakfasts at the in-house restaurant, and all-round luxurious comfort. This elegant 20th-century townhouse conversion is located in the calm Amoreiras neighbourhood, close to popular areas including Príncipe Real, Bairro Alto, Parque Eduardo VII, Avenida da Liberdade and Chiado. Home to Lisbon’s Japanese Club until the 1940s, the building’s walls have witnessed regime changes and revolutions. In the late '60s, it was a gathering place for the international jet-set – Audrey Hepburn, Aga Khan, and Diane Von Furstenberg were amongst its visitors.The hotel's original staircase, traditional mouldings, and central atrium feel like a mini palace. But the spirited decor – from the library lounge to the 15 lavish rooms and suites – brings the space firmly into the 21st century. A sophisticated colour palette and geometric patterns riff with plush textures, contemporary furniture, interesting Portuguese accents, and acclaimed photography and sculpture. Every room, corner and vignette has been meticulously designed. With welcoming, friendly and attentive staff, Sublime Lisboa is a refined home away from home.
