Discover the distinctive blue façade of Heritage Avenida Liberdade. Reflecting the Moorish influences of Lisbon's medieval heritage, the stunning exterior is only a hint of the magic awaiting inside. The hotel’s façade boasts many of its 18th-century features including the original ashlar, the veranda railings, the wooden main door, and the shutters with their original ironwork.

Take a dip in the hotel’s sleek indoor pool and then lounge in the library with a good book. Located in the basement, the small pool is surrounded by a sepia-toned mural of beachgoers from the 1920s. The elevators, with their stone mosaic flooring reminiscent of Avenida da Liberdade, take guests up to the charming mezzanine library overlooking the lobby where they can peruse the hotel’s multilingual selection of books.

Admire the interiors designed by internationally acclaimed Portuguese architect, Miguel Câncio Martins. Photos of old Lisbon and quotes from Portuguese poets like Fernando Pessoa and António Gedeão celebrate Portugal’s past. Original blue and white Pombaline tiles, named after the 18th-century Marques de Pombal, decorate the public areas. The lobby maintains the 18th-century herbalist counter of Ervanária Hermética, a shop that existed on the ground floor of the building, and now, in place of the apothecary’s ointments, medicinal herbs, and elixirs, the friendly staff provides delicious tea blends for guests to enjoy.
