h10 Duque de Loulé

As well as its striking 18th-century façade, this exclusive centrally located four-star hotel is celebrated for a truly remarkable rustic-chic-contemporary interior, the result of fastidious and imaginative renovation by top international designer Lazaro Rosa-Violan. Indeed, a standout feature of the public spaces is the traditional azulejos – a feast of blue and white tiled panels that honour this most iconic of Portuguese ceramic decoration. Accommodation comprises 89 rooms divided into double, superior double and deluxe units, plus a choice of suites. Guest amenities feature the excellent Azul e Branco restaurant that serves an appetising fusion of Spanish and Portuguese gastronomy. The Equestra Bar is an ideal coffee retreat while the Limão Chill Out Terrace affords glorious city views. Facilities also include a well-appointed meeting room, ideal for formal gatherings. There's free Wi-Fi throughout the building and, for a modest surcharge, guests can take advantage of private indoor parking.
