Hotel Bairro Alto
Hotel Type: Luxury Hotel
Environment: City
Number of Rooms: 55
Style: Elegant
Lisbon finally has a top notch hotel in the cosmopolitan and trendy theatre district of Bairro Alto, from whence the hotel gets its name.
It really is fresh from the press and it is already becoming renowned as one of the best addresses in town, but then the Bairro Alto was done up by Grace Leo Andrieu - also famous for the Lancaster in Paris, for example.
The design of the 55 rooms and suites have a contemporary approach of classic Portuguese style with the latest hi-tech features (wi-fi Internet access, etc). Facilities include a street access restaurant with esplanade, a Trendy bar, a mezzanine lounge, a private boardroom, a panoramic terrace overlooking the Tagus River for special events and fitness center with massage. An underground car park, the famous 28 tram (provides a scenic and romantic way of getting to know Lisbon) plus the metro facing the hotel door, means guests are also very well served transport wise.

Bairro Alto Hotel - History
Ermida do Alecrim vanished with the Earthquake of 1755, that almost destroyed the entire city. However its name is perpetuated on the beautiful street that goes from the Hotel to Tagus River.
On 1770's decade, following the instructions of Lisbon's rebuilding plan of Marquês de Pombal, it was constructed the building with two floors over shops that is now the home of BAIRRO ALTO HOTEL.
After the opening of Largo (square) LuÃs de Camões in 1860, the building was remodelled. Three floors and a suite with dormer windows replaced the former structure. The threshold windows of the suite, zinc framed, were distinguishable over the slated new rooftop, a sign of the french taste of this period that created an image which remains until nowadays.
This building was the site of a inn that became known as Hotel de l’Europe, managed on that time by a french lady – Madame Radegonde Gachet –, and after that by Ferdinand Piper and also his widow, between 1845 and 1912.
