Pátio do Tijolo
Zen minimalist meets Portuguese craft. Industrial concrete and micro-cement bones softened by Berber rugs, handmade ceramics, verdant green-glazed bathroom tiles, parquet floors, and curated mid-century design pieces — Hans Werner tables, Salvador chairs by Catalan designer Miguel Milá. Communal, slow-living by design.
The entrance is genuinely easy to miss — look for the simple steel-plated door on Calçada do Tijolo
Why It Matters
Michelin Guide-listed and Tablet Hotels-curated boutique that opened in January 2024. It is built on a former carpentry yard and only accessible through a hidden passageway. Strong sustainability credentials: solar-powered energy, native tree planting, zero single-use plastic, and vegan room amenities. Communal spaces — courtyard, shared kitchen, Loureiro salon — are genuinely the heart of the hotel rather than an afterthought.
A 24-room boutique hotel that opened in January 2024, reached through a steel-plated gate on a cobblestoned hillside street between Bairro Alto and Príncipe Real. The building sits on the footprint of a former timber yard, designed by Carina Seelig of Base Geométrica and styled by Barcelona-born siblings Juan and Natalia Tubella. It runs on solar power, bans single-use plastic, and trades the standard lobby for a shared kitchen, leafy courtyard, and a lounge where fresh pastel de nata shows up daily.
Where You'll Stay
6 room types available
Balcony Room
21m² with direct access to a private balcony. No panoramic river view, but the outdoor space is a genuine asset for morning coffee. King or twin, same minimalist finish throughout.
King or Twin · 21 sqm
Deluxe Family Suite
Two connecting rooms — a Standard and a Superior — that combine into a 52m² suite sleeping 4 to 5 people. Two bathrooms, two TVs, two in-room safes. Access to the garden or a balcony. The most practical option for families or groups who need genuine separation of space. Complimentary water, coffee, and tea included.
King or Twin (2 rooms) · 52 sqm
Patio Room
21m² ground-floor room that opens directly onto the palm-dappled courtyard. Ideal for guests who want a private outdoor pocket of shade and quiet. The patio here has jacarandas, banana trees, and tropical plants — it genuinely feels like a secret garden.
King or Twin · 21 sqm
Premium Room
Same 30m² footprint as the Panoramic version but oriented toward the leafy garden courtyard or balcony rather than the skyline. Still one of the more spacious options, with the same minimalist palette of micro-cement, parquet, and green glazed tiles.
King or Twin · 30 sqmPremium Room With Panoramic View
The star of the lineup. At 30m², it is not large, but the panoramic views over Lisbon's rooftops and the Tagus River — including the 25 de Abril bridge — make up for it. King or twin configuration, private balcony or patio access. Parquet floors, green-glazed shower tiles, in-room safe.
King or Twin · 30 sqmSuperior with City View
Compact at 21m², but the city views make the room feel bigger. King or twin beds, no balcony but large windows looking out over Lisbon's rooftop terracotta. Best for guests who want the views without the premium price.

On Property
How you'll actually spend your days.
The central patio garden — with jacarandas, lemon and pomegranate trees, banana palms, and tropical plants — is open to all guests throughout the day. One of the hotel's defining draws.
The Loureiro salon holds a personally curated book collection selected by the Tubella siblings. A genuine spot to sit and read, not a decorative shelf.
During summer months, the hotel hosts outdoor movie nights in the courtyard garden. Not formally scheduled — ask reception which evening they are on during your stay.
