Art Legacy Hotel

Art Legacy Hotel

Rua do Ouro, one of the busiest streets in Lisbon, stands out for its strict adherence to the Plano de Pormenor de Salvaguarda da Baixa Pombalina, punctuated by iconic and unique buildings that stand out from the typical Pombaline buildings. This is the case of the building where the Hotel Art Legacy now stands - an original 1920s Beaux Arts-style building in a privileged location.  

The architecture and decoration project, carried out by the RA\\ studio of architect Luis Rebelo de Andrade, seeks to restore the building's original design, in an effort to enhance and safeguard the architectural heritage of the time, both by restoring the arched openings in the façade on the ground floor, by using modern materials of the time such as glass and iron, by naturalistic bas-reliefs of great realism and also by using metal roofing - in this case the mansard floor.  

The program includes a five-star hotel with 53 rooms. On the ground floor are the public areas such as the reception, lounge area, bar and restaurant with a direct connection to the street. On the upper floors are the bedrooms and, on the mansard floor, the suites with their terraces and privileged views over the city.  

 The interior design, done in collaboration with the renowned Dutch design brand Moooi, has been thought out in detail and all the pieces, from the furniture, coverings and lighting, provide a unique vision of design where beauty merges with the functionality of each object.
