The hotel is designed by renowned architect Miguel Saraiva. The façade is a fusion of traditional Pombaline (style popular in Lisbon following the 1755 earthquake) with sleek contemporary materials. Inside, elegant black dominates the color scheme, with tones of gray, khaki, cream and white providing accents. Luxurious fabrics such as suede, silk and velvet cover the walls, cushion the furniture and decorate the rooms.
