For travelers seeking an unforgettable stay in Lisbon—and for locals who crave a spectacular escape without leaving the city—the Myriad by SANA delivers a one-of-a-kind luxury experience. Located in Parque das Nações, Lisbon’s modern riverfront district, the hotel embraces its position outside the historic city center with bold architecture, panoramic views, and a contemporary energy that reflects Portugal’s forward-looking spirit.
A Towering Icon on the Tagus
The Myriad by SANA is more than a hotel—it’s part of Lisbon’s skyline. Opened in 2012, the hotel was built alongside the Vasco da Gama Tower, a structure originally created as the centerpiece of Expo 98. Together, the two form a silhouette reminiscent of a sailing ship—its billowing sail and soaring mast a tribute to Portugal’s Age of Discoveries. Rising over the Tagus, the tower-hotel complex is a landmark in modern Lisbon and a destination in its own right.
Contemporary Accommodations
Every one of the 176 rooms and 10 suites faces the river, ensuring guests wake to soft sunrise hues or wind down with the golden shimmer of evening light on the water. Interiors are sleek and contemporary, dressed in a sophisticated palette of silver, red, and chrome, with polished finishes of marble and glass.
- Premium Rooms add indulgence with whirlpool baths and massage jet showers.
- Suites provide ample space for work or relaxation, with 55–59m² layouts and sweeping views.
- The Presidential Suite takes luxury to new heights—110m² featuring a lounge, dining room, walk-in closet, and even a discreet support kitchen for private service.
River Lounge – Dining on the Water
Positioned dramatically over the Tagus, the River Lounge surrounds diners with floor-to-ceiling glass, giving the sensation of floating above the river. Executive Chef Bruno Oliveira curates a menu that highlights Portugal’s rich seafood traditions while weaving in global inspirations.
Signature dishes include:
- Sesimbra Oysters with passion fruit sauce and coriander
- Bulhão Pato Clams with lemon confit and toasted “miga”
- Lamb Tenderloin with bivalves polenta, asparagus, and tomato mint sauce
Afternoons invite tea or champagne on the terrace, while evenings transform the River Lounge Bar into a lively hub with signature cocktails and live music. On weekends, the restaurant’s sumptuous brunch tempts with regional delicacies like Algarve octopus and Cascais crab.
Fifty Seconds – A Michelin-Starred Ascent
A 50-second elevator ride up the Vasco da Gama Tower leads to one of Lisbon’s most exclusive dining experiences: Fifty Seconds, helmed by Executive Chef Rui Silvestre. Silvestre—once the youngest Portuguese chef to earn a Michelin star—presents a dazzling 14-course tasting menu that harmonizes Portuguese flavors with global techniques. Expect artistry on the plate, from pristine local seafood to refined meat dishes, each crafted with precision and imagination.
Babylon 360º – Rooftop Bar and Viewpoint
At the very top of the tower, the Babylon 360º Bar doubles as both viewpoint and nightlife destination. Guests enjoy signature cocktails inspired by the spice routes of the Portuguese explorers, all while taking in breathtaking 360º views of the city and river. With live DJs and music programming, it’s as much a cultural venue as it is a bar—perfect for sunset drinks or late-night energy.
Sayanna Wellness Spa – Sky-High Serenity
Perched on the upper floors, the Sayanna Wellness Spa offers guests an elevated retreat in every sense. In partnership with Aromatherapy Associates, treatments combine ancient Eastern philosophies with modern techniques. Facilities include a climate-controlled vitality pool, sensory salt tub, Turkish bath, steam room, and 24-hour Technogym fitness studio. Personalized wellness programs and private treatments ensure balance, relaxation, and renewal—all with unparalleled panoramic views.
A Destination for Visitors and Locals
The Myriad by SANA redefines the Lisbon hotel experience. It’s a modern luxury escape in the city’s most dynamic neighborhood, ideal for international visitors seeking something beyond the historic center, and equally enticing for Lisbon locals and Portuguese residents looking for a stylish staycation. Whether it’s a weekend spa indulgence, a celebratory dinner with views, or simply cocktails above the clouds, the Myriad is more than a hotel—it’s an experience.
