Feng shui-inspired boutique hotel with spa, hip eatery & bar
"From the outside, this 89-room hotel, located just off the capital’s central Avenida Libertade, is all Portuguese gentility, with a classical facade punctuated with wrought iron balconies. But inside, it feels much more like a funky loft in San Francisco. From the long lobby lined with pretty wooden-slatted windows that let the Lisbon light stream in to the feng shui guest rooms made edgy with concrete floors and glass-walled showers etched with mod shapes, the interior is all West Coast hip. Service is professional yet warm, and the sustainability policy is flaunted to mostly good effect—witness the recyclable bottles of filtered water (although one would perhaps prefer a newspaper at breakfast to a sanctimonious lecture on the preferability of the computers available in the lobby). Which is not to say that the Santa Marta skimps on amenities. Rather, it has honed its list to the most appreciated ones: Rooms have Nespresso machines, for instance, as well as complimentary (if minimally stocked) minibars, and there’s free Wi-Fi, an on-site spa and workout room, and a restaurant serving well-prepared Mediterranean cuisine—food that you might actually seek out rather than simply fall back on."
"Located 80 metres from Avenida da Liberdade, Inspira Santa Marta is 300 meters from Marquês de Pombal Square. Organic, locally sourced ingredients are blended in the Mediterranean dishes of its stylish restaurant. The luxurious rooms of Inspira Santa Marta Hotel are decorated according to the principles of Feng Shui. Flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi and Nespresso machines are standard in all guest rooms. A temple-like atmosphere can be enjoyed at the spa, which includes wet and dry saunas, a soothing hot tub and 6 treatment rooms. For an intense workout, Inspira Santa Marta also features a gym. The Mediterranean Brasserie offers a range of activities, including show-cooking, workshops and wine tasting. A cosy fireplace, retro décor and an extensive cocktail menu are available at the Urban Bar. The Inspira Santa Marta is a 10-minute walk from Eduardo VII Park and a 15-minutes' walk from Baixa." - My Boutique Hotel (en)
"Like so many things in Lisbon, Inspira Liberdade Boutique Hotel is an excellent value. At first glance it looks simply like a mid-range, mid-size, middle-of-town boutique hotel, with a pleasant stone and white-stucco façade just like all the others on its cobblestone street. But then you step inside the long, airy lobby, its wood-slatted windows casting patterned shadows into the room, and it’s immediately clear that Inspira Liberdade Boutique Hotel is more ambitious than that first glance suggested. In place of the expected little breakfast nook, there’s a bright contemporary restaurant whose open kitchen is knocking out excellent Mediterranean fare. There’s a surprisingly cool bar, a business center, a brand-name spa, and on it goes — ticking off each item on the list of amenities expected of a larger, more expensive hotel." - Tablet Hotels
