    Verride Palácio Santa Catarina, Lisbon

  • Verride Palácio Santa Catarina
  • Verride Palace was built in the 1700s, and over the years it was home to several noblemen, until it was bought by investors who turned it into one of Lisbon’s most beautiful and romantic hotels. Located next to one of the city’s most popular viewpoints, just steps from Bairro Alto, the Verride Palácio Santa Catarina Hotel has twelve suites and seven rooms. The tile panels, the woods and the stucco interior were restored, and each space is decorated with contemporary furniture and a few antique pieces.

At the restaurant on the top floor you're served a creative international and Portuguese cuisine, while downstairs you have a more informal atmosphere.
