About Bairro Alto Hotel
Bairro Alto Hotel sits on Praça Luís de Camões, the square where Chiado meets Bairro Alto, with yellow trams passing the door. It has 87 rooms and suites in a historic building that became a hotel in the 19th century.
What sets it apart is its location and design: Pritzker Prize-winning architect Eduardo Souto de Moura led a 2018 restoration that kept many original features. It suits couples, design lovers and travelers who want to walk everywhere in the old city.
