Located in the heart of the city amidst the buzzing Chiado, Bairro Alto, and Príncipe Real neighbourhoods, Palácio Ludovice offers 61 individually designed rooms and suites, gastronomic experiences, wine tastings, and grapevine wellness treatments.
The hotel was once a former private residence of João Federico Ludovice, architect to King João V in the 18th century – and it has now been wholly transformed under the eye of renowned architect Miguel Câncio Martins, blending original XVIII-century elements with a contemporary touch. Grand décor, including hand-painted tiles and carved wood, takes you back in time to live as a distinguished Federico Ludovice guest in his private manor.

We thoroughly enjoyed breakfast at Vermelho. Highlights included the array of Portuguese and French pastries that were brought to your table and the perfectly cooked a-la-carte eggs. Breakfast was delicious but also beautifully arranged, featuring tableware from Vida Dura.
Elisabeth Lincot's installation, Lagrima de Loros, graces an exterior hearth at Vermelho with glazed and colourful ceramic bird heads.
