PROPERTY HIGHLIGHTS:

• The grande dame of Lisbon’s boutique hotel scene has re-opened after a major expansion courtesy of architect, Eduardo Souto de Moura. Behind its ochre-coloured façade, it houses 87 rooms, the first outpost of chef Nuno Mendes in his home town, and a much sought-after roof terrace.

• The hotel stands on one of Lisbon’s prettiest squares, Praça de Camões, with a statue of Luís de Camões, Portugal’s greatest poet in its centre. It’s in the vibrant quarter of Bairro Alto, long a haunt of artists and writers. Steps away is the chic neighbourhood of Chiado, filled with elegant shops, theatres and some of the capital’s best restaurants.
• While the existing rooms, which also have the best views over the square, have kept their quietly charming feel, with their hand-painted birds on the walls, the newer rooms and suites are bolder in colour, while not straying from the original DNA of the hotel.
• Go up to the 5th floor and be amazed by the best of Portuguese cuisine, created by Chef Bruno Rocha. BAHR exhales a bohemian and irreverent aura of the artists that marked the city. With a terrace with a stunning view of the river and the city, it is the perfect spot to relax during the day, enjoy the sunset, or just sit back and have a drink.
• Wellness centre, equipped with a Technogym and a kinesis wall, a sauna and sensory shower, and a double massage room with excellent treatments using Suzanne Kauffman products.
