AlmaLusa Hotels is excited to announce the grand opening of its third property, AlmaLusa Alfama, located in Lisbon. This stunning new boutique hotel is situated in the historic Campo das Cebolas, just a stone’s throw away from the Praça do Comércio square and the Lisbon Cathedral, offering breathtaking views of the Tagus River.
The architectural design of AlmaLusa Alfama reflects the Pombaline style and is located within a building that dates back to the 12th century, surviving the devastation of an earthquake. The hotel also embraces the rich history of the area, as it sits adjacent to the Arco das Portas do Mar, a historic arch connecting the Alfama district with the central square, Campo das Cebolas. It is here that remnants from the Roman era have been uncovered, including the remains of a Roman house, indicating the prosperous presence of a Roman family. The hotel’s interior courtyard is a testament to the luxurious lifestyle lived by the ancient inhabitants.
Featuring 25 exquisitely designed rooms and suites, AlmaLusa Alfama creates an authentic cultural immersion by incorporating local and national brands in each room, offering guests a genuine Portuguese experience.

As guests explore Alfama, they will encounter small shops selling traditional crafts, vibrant street art adorning the walls, and inviting cafés and restaurants serving authentic Portuguese cuisine, allowing them to immerse themselves in the rich culture and history of the area.
