BAIRRO ALTO

A district full of life and history, set in one of the seven hills that characterize this European capital. Originally inhabited by Portuguese aristocrats, after the 1755 earthquake, Bairro Alto became a popular area featuring several workshops, secular houses, small shops, restaurants, bars, and newspaper headquarters. Since then, the quiet neighbourhood still preserves its traditional charm and elegance, immensely frequented by intellectuals, artists and bon vivants who seek to mix art and culture with animation.

SÃO PEDRO DE ALCÂNTARA VIEWPOINT

Crossing the street from the hotel, lies this emblematic viewpoint with one of the most privileged views of Lisbon. From here, it is possible to admire its gardens with Greco-Roman statues, the Tagus River, the walls of the Castle of São Jorge, the Graça church and the Cathedral. Next to the viewpoint is the famous Glória Tram, inaugurated in 1885, which connects the Praça dos Restauradores with Bairro Alto.

CHIADO

A neighbourhood standing since Roman times, Chiado has always been the go-to spot for shopping. Here, you might find some of the precious Lojas com História (Historic Shops): Livraria Bertrand, the oldest bookstore in the country, inaugurated in 1732; the famous garment store Paris em Lisboa; the mythical coffeeshop A Brasileira, which became a rendezvous point for intellectuals, writers, artists and businessmen and women since 1905. Here, one can enjoy a coffee next to the famous statue of the poet Fernando Pessoa.

PRINCIPE REAL

A short distance walk from Bairro Alto is Príncipe Real, one of the most exclusive and affluent districts in Lisbon. Here, guests can mingle with the locals while enjoying a coffee at a kiosk in one of its gardens. The neighbourhood is also well-known for its trendy concept stores and frequented by thriving designers, architects, and creative minds.

PALÁCIO LUDOVICE

Located in the heart of Lisbon amidst the mythical Chiado, Bairro Alto and Príncipe Real neighbourhoods, facing the breathtaking panoramic views of the São Pedro de Alcântara Viewpoint and the emblematic Glória Tram.

Former private residence of João Federico Ludovice, architect to King João V in the 18th century, its rooms and halls are brought back to life as 61 rooms and suites, completely transformed under the eye of the architect Miguel Câncio Martins to bring to life the ultimate luxury boutique hotel experience in the city.

A PLACE WHERE HISTORY MEETS LUXURY... AROUND A GLASS OF WINE

Ludovice
Story

In the early 1700, João Federico Ludovice arrived in Lisbon, commissioned to transform King João V’s architectural desires into reality. In search of a place to build a private residence for him and his descendants, he found in the mythical Bairro Alto the perfect spot.
A façade developed in 5 floors of unequal height and dimensions, opened by a large central door with decorated pilasters, windows framed in stone, balconies with stunning views over Lisbon and of the Bairro Alto neighbourhood, 18th century white-and-blue tiled walls, a Chapel with Masonic symbols and a hebraic inscription, palatial rooms with stucco ceilings and a majestic staircase. This was the first palacete of its kind, one to occupy an entire block.

An Epicurean Lifestyle Celebration

In charge of the renovation works at Palácio Ludovice Wine Hotel was the renowned Portuguese architect and designer Miguel Câncio Martins, internationally recognized for emblematic projects such as the Buddha Bar in Paris, the Opium in London, and for hotels such as Quinta da Comporta in Portugal.
Under his care, the original white-and-blue tiles from the 18th century, its fresco paintings and stucco ceilings were preserved, and a new and palatial accommodation arose, marking the beginning of a new era in this historical landmark.
A privileged location with sumptuous accommodation, an iconic gastronomic experience at Federico restaurant, curated wine tastings at the Porto Wine Institute and the luxurious grapevine wellness treatments at CAUDALIE come together to allow guests to discover Lisbon through the lens of a fine wine connoisseur.
