Lisbon's hotel landscape has gained a distinctive new addition with the March opening of Andaz Lisbon in the Baixa district.
The property marks the brand's debut in Portugal, offering a prime location near historic landmarks and a design rooted in local culture.
Housed in a former bank building, the hotel preserves elements of 18th-century architecture while integrating contemporary art and curated decor.
Interior spaces feature works created by artists connected to Portugal, alongside global design influences such as African textiles and Bauhaus-style sculpture.
The result reflects Lisbon's character as a cosmopolitan city that balances historic charm with modern style.
Behind a compact facade, the hotel contains 170 rooms and suites across six floors, ranging from standard king rooms to a 1,065-square-foot presidential suite.
Deluxe king rooms include seating areas, double windows, complimentary first-night refreshments, and reusable stainless steel water bottles.
Bathrooms are efficiently designed with red tiling, walk-in showers, and provided robes and slippers.
Guests sensitive to fragrance should note a property-wide scent that does not extend into rooms or dining areas.
Breakfast is available for 29 euros per person and includes a buffet plus made-to-order dishes.
The rooftop restaurant Luzzi serves modern Portuguese cuisine throughout the day and attracts both guests and local residents.
Its terrace offers casual dining with views of the Rua Augusta Arch and live music from Wednesday through Saturday.
On the ground floor, the Andaz Lounge offers drinks and elevated street food, with a wine list featuring female Portuguese producers.
Amenities include a 24-hour fitness center, pet-friendly accommodations, and scheduled in-room spa treatments until a full spa opens later this year.
The hotel partners with a local tour company to offer cultural experiences such as street art tours, coastal horseback rides, and artisan shop visits.
One experience guides guests through Lisbon's oldest workshops, including a bookshop, hat maker, and a filigree jewelry session with a family business founded in 1924.
Located steps from the Tagus River and Rua Augusta, the hotel provides walkable access to Alfama and other central districts.
Lisbon Airport is approximately 20 minutes away, with rideshares costing 10 to 20 euros and public transit available for about 2 euros.
The property offers limited accessibility, with elevator access to most areas and one adapted room with roll-in shower available by advance request.
Standard rooms start at 266 euros per night, with deluxe king rooms from 304 euros, excluding breakfast.
Award stays range from 20,000 to 40,000 points per night under the hotel's category-6 designation.
Andaz Lisbon combines a central location, cultural programming, and refined service to serve as a comprehensive base for exploring the Portuguese capital.
