Lisbon’s most picturesque viewpoints are scattered amongst its seven hills. The Miradouro de Santa Catarina (viewpoint of Santa Catarina) is no exception. With a breathtaking view over the Tagus River; this area within a small garden is a favorite amongst modern explorers and locals. It is also the location of Lisbon’s most exquisitely renovated townhouse, Verride Palácio Santa Catarina.
This former residence owned by the Verride family has been transformed into an elegant, 18-room boutique hotel. The marriage of traditional features with bespoke contemporary furniture has been beautifully achieved. Palettes are in muted tones. There is a quiet sense of elegance to the place. Wide windows ensure that rooms are bathed in Lisbon’s natural light and that the vistas of Lisbon surround you. Guests are spoilt with Australian brand, Aesop’s plant-based bathroom products. Portugal’s own Celso de Lemos is the provider of its linens and towels.
River view suite
The two Royal Suites, aptly named, the King’s and Queen’s are opulent. Original details have been preserved. The King’s Suite has stuccos in rococo style. Wooden sculptured ceilings and 18th century tile panels surrounding a modern egg-shaped bath will suit any modern-day queen.
Breakfast is shared on a community table. Your chef is available for a la minute orders. In warmer weather eat al fresco by the Palacio’s pool. Modern Portuguese cuisine is served in their rooftop fine dining restaurant Suba.
This roof-top terrace immerses you in a 360 degree view of Lisbon. After all, Verride is all around you.
