The Ivens, Autograph Collection Lisbon

Housed in a pink-hued historic building at Rua Capelo 5, the property opened in 2021 after conversion and draws inspiration from the African expeditions of Roberto Ivens and Hermenegildo Capelo. Its eclectic, art-deco-influenced interiors feature maps, curios, travel artifacts, and bold layered textures across the lobby, guest rooms, and public spaces. The hotel offers no pool or spa but includes a fitness center, two on-site restaurants focused on Italian and seafood cuisine, a Gastro Bar, and a Crudo Bar, along with a garden patio area. The 87 rooms and suites, including 10 corner suites and two signature rooms with river and downtown views, emphasize soundproofing, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and 24-hour in-room dining. Standard rooms are boutique in scale while top-floor suites provide separate living areas and balconies. Located on a quiet side street in the lively Chiado district, the hotel sits within easy walking distance of Rossio Square, Praça do Comércio, the Santa Justa Elevator, Castelo de São Jorge, and Lisbon Cathedral. Additional amenities include free bicycle rentals, an electric car charging station, concierge services, laundry, and approximately 656 square feet of meeting space for up to 25 people. The property positions itself as a central, walkable base for guests seeking theatrical design and destination dining in historic Lisbon.
