Heritage Avenida Liberdade Hotel

Hotels / Liberdade

A bridge between modernity and the past in the historic centre of Lisbon

The blue façade of the Heritage Avenida Liberdade Hotel stands out in an architectonic unit on the prime artery of the capital– Avenida da Liberdade. Subject to careful rehabilitation, this 18th century building has come back to life by dint of a project of a unique nature.

Designed by Miguel Câncio Martins – whose interventions in the most cosmopolitan capitals are surprising for their daring and creativeness – the authorship of this rebuilding is expressed by the diluting of the physical frontiers between the city and the hotel.

The purpose of the rehabilitation was to keep as many original elements as possible: the 18th century façade, the ashlar, the veranda railings, the wooden main door and the shutters with their original iron work, as well as the Pombaline tiles in the interior, have been subject to detailed restoration. In the exterior, the integrality of the architectonic design was conserved, maintaining the elegant features which characterise the Pombaline age. A bridge between modernity and the past, its 42 personalized rooms are equipped with air-conditioning, a free safe, satellite TV, free access to broad band wireless, LCD TV, DVD/CD reader, Molton Brown amenities, hairdryer and bath robes. As for our sister hotels of Lisbon Heritage Collection, Heritage Avenida Liberdade Hotel provides assisted breakfast buffet, library, lobby Bar, a Fitness room with a Fitness Pool and a Gym, 24h room service, a laundry, free access to broad band wireless, free use of a computer and printer with internet access and a video library.

Liberdade

Avenida da Liberdade was built following the style of the Champs Elysées between 1879 and 1882. It opened up a new era in the urbanisation and expansion of the city to the north and very quickly became the address of choice for high society. This aura of exclusivity accompanies it to the present day and its historic and imposing buildings (such as number 206 where Prada is) are home to five-star hotels, luxury shops and leading companies.
