It’s so common to hear on arrival: “We read wonderful reviews about Palacio Belmonte and saw the beautiful pictures but never expected this , it’s absolutely amazing!” Or “We travelled to the best hotels in the world and never saw something similar”. Or returning guests: “What a feeling it is to be back in this house, standing there looking at the 8 meters high ceilings with their eyes closed”
And what to say? When a child of 6 writes in the Book “I don’t understand why this hotel has only 5 stars. It should have 200 !!!” - when we don’t have television, videogames, pool slides and all those things they are crazy for…
What is Palacio Belmonte?
Palacio Belmonte perched on the Castle’s walls at the top of the hill facing the river was too good to be missed for our house, but 380 doors and windows to be opened every day made it otherwise. And Lisbon needed hotels! So for two years the sculpture was studied to achieve a new difficult goal.
Frederic, an ecologist since the time very few knew the meaning of the word, used his usual methods, the elderly were called, the old documents were studied, technology worked on the lost formulas and soon they knew the materials used in 1420 when the three towers became a house and in 1640 when the house became a Palace. And a new project took shape to give birth to only ten suites in 3.700 sq meters so the interior beauty , the tiles, would not be damaged . The reconstruction started following the principles of sustainability and the rules in the Chart of Venice.
Because aesthetic is of most importance, walls, floors, or anything that didn’t please the eye was done and redone until perfection, ours! Struggling with the worker’s skills and taste. How can you tell a specialist what he sees perfect we don’t like?…
After 6 years of works and 26 million of investment Palacio Belmonte came back to life splendorous in a new design, full of details, light and new colours.
For us artists its nudity couldn’t miss an exhibit before its last goal. And how perfect the modern huge paintings of Rui Gonçalves fitted our huge old walls! In this way the new Belmonte was introduced to the city. Ever since the press hasn’t stopped talking about it.
It was now time to bring inside the pieces we had fallen for, one by one they found their place in the sculpture.
But Palacio Belmonte is much more than pure art, health is in with the concept. We gave you stairs in all directions instead of elevators where you exercise without noticing it. Natural ventilation replaced air conditioning and the ambiance is perfect all through the year. The materials are natural, you feel heaven in bed, you eat organic, the walls breath, you breath the reason you feel so well! A quite place where you lesson to the birds and nothing else, where no one will disturb you, where you can enter the kitchen for a light meal, have a Michelin exquisite dinner on a terrace or go to the friendly Cultural Club Café, and you might hear the piano, a flute, a cello, or yourself. Be shaved instead of doing it yourself, have a relaxing bath instead of the quick shower, smoke a good cigar with a view, try the difference and be happy!
Services? Our bla, bla is perfect!
We find three types of people, those who see, those who don’t see and those who want to be seen. If you are in the first you will love Belmonte, the second it might open your eyes, the third you will feel much happier at the Ritz.
