Originally
a small town house dating from the 1940’s and designed by the famous modernist
architect, Cassiano Branco. It has been transformed into the 30 bedroomed
Hotel Britania, an Art Deco gem, which has recently been classified as
an Historic Building.
Situated in a quiet street in the centre of Lisbon, Hotel Britania has recently been renovated to very high standards. This is immediatly evident upon entering the foyer which has has a beautiful marble floor and clean Art Deco lines. The lounge and convivial bar create the atmosphere of an exclusive club, and with only thirty bedrooms personal service is guaranteed. The
bedrooms are extremely spacious and classically furnished with beautifully
restored marble period bathrooms.
Facilities at the Hotel Britania include 24 hour room service, non smoking rooms, bar and garage. A buffet breakfast (not included in the room rate) is available. Step out of the elegance of the Art Deco era into a very twenty first century Lisbon. This
is a city to be discovered slowly, either on foot or using the trams and
funiculars. A ferry ride across the Tejo River is also a fun way
to enjoy the cityscape.
The Centro de Arte Moderna, reached through a garden of specially commissioned sculptures, has a fine collection of twentieth century Portuguese art. This includes works by Almada Negreiros, the founder of ‘Modernismo’. Lisbon has an amazing assortment of restaurants to choose from, probably offering the best value of any European capital. There is one street entirely devoted to seafood cuisine. Music has always played an important part of Lisbon life, and this is reflected in the many bars specializing in Fado, Portuguese Jazz, Brazilian and African music. The Hotel Britania will appeal to the discerning guest who enjoys luxury, comfort and the intimate atmosphere of a small hotel. |
