This palatial home has been transformed into a first class hotel in the heart of Lisbon. H10 has hit it out of the park this time with its newest property - The One Palacio da Anunciada!
This property is an 81 room gem with a unique history as a 16th Century home to nobility. The rich history of the property is key to its charm and ambiance. As a member of Preferred Hotels & Resorts, this hotel is a welcome addition that does not disappoint.
A Dream for Architects and Design Conoisseurs
H10 had the foresight into transform this architectural splendor to one of its most prized first class properties. This majestic hotel was originally built as a convent.
Any architectural connoisseur would marvel at the restoration. From the splendid carved ceilings, to the grand staircase and hand painted etchings, the sophisticated interior design is magnificent. The building has been carefully preserved with immaculate attention to detail, showing off the best features of the old palace.
Rooms Reflect Vibrant Flavors of Portugal
The personalized hand-written welcome card signed by Leandro Munoz, General Manager, wishing a memorable stay, sets the tone for the stay. Rooms are immaculate and decor is contemporary, tasteful and elegant. Walls are adorned with ceramic art that gives a feel for local Portuguese culture. Technology is modern and up to date, with built-in charging stations at each bedside.
Bathroom towels are oversized and plush. Luxurious amenities are by Nature Bisse, the hip luxury brand that celebrities cherish, and one of the sponsors for this year’s Hollywood Oscars.
For rooms that face the courtyard, open the windows to the hum of the water fountain below and the chirping of the birds.
Relax in Style
A chic and welcoming outdoor infinity pool is strategically located on a terrace overlooking the hotel’s gardens and courtyard. This makes for a serene and calm refuge in the middle of Lisbon’s city center. Enjoy a poolside cocktail in style and make time for the relaxing lounge chairs around the pool. End with a visit to the coveted Despacio Spa. The spa area is complete with sauna, jacuzzi, indoor pool and fitness room.
Breakfast - If Only the Eyes Could Eat
Enjoy meals outdoors in the hotel’s gardens. It’s hard to believe that this calm, serene oasis exists in the busy center of downtown Lisbon.
Breakfast is not to be missed as it’s a special part of the complete experience at The One. Here it’s as much about the food as it is about the artful presentation of each edible creation.
Buffet items are presented as elegant mise en bouche, and presented as a feast for the eyes. A lot of thought has gone into creating each item for the buffet and a la carte menu items. From a lemon cleanse shot, to ceviche of octopus, homemade date and nut cereal bars, macarons, pastry tarts, mini beignets and so much more.
