Lisbon Mercador D. Maria
Located in the heart of Lisbon in one of the oldest and picturesque streets of the city is the Palácio do Mercador ("Merchant's Palace), a building whose first record dates back to 1565.
Resisting the earthquake that struck Lisbon in 1755, the owner at the time knowing of the presence in the city of the Milanese plasterer Giovanni Grossi commissioned him the decoration of his palace, according the rococo style, coating ceilings with beautiful stucco, the walls with tile ("azulejos") panels and decorative paintings that we can still admire.
Over the five hundred years of its existence, the palace was home to many famous people who marked the society of their time through politics, culture and overseas trade.
Over the past five years the palace has undergone a profound restoration and conservation, promoted by the current owners and executed by the company CRERE, which brought back the splendor and dignity of other times
With a Neoclassical taste, Queen D Maria I, born 1734 and reigning from 1777 to 1816, influenced Portugal with a style that has seen assigned its own name. Simple lines, cared and refined, as represented in the decoration and architecture, through stuccos, decorative paintings and, particularly, in furniture define an era that lasted until the first half of 19th century. All this is reflected in the delicate epithet awarded to Queen D. Maria I: "Maria, the Pious".
The suite D. Maria, with its original ceilings, influenced the whole decoration of the space, displaying an atmosphere of colors, textures, and inevitably, the style of the furniture used in the decoration. The suite has an area of 53.40 m2 with a double bed (or twin beds on request) allowing for occupancy by two people or four people (through the double sofa bed available in the living area). The beds have latex mattresses and display the traditional quality of Portuguese textile, with satin cotton sheets, four seasons duvet and offer a choice of three pillows of different densities.
The suite has a living area, with a sofa bed and can also create the ambience of a dining area with a kitchenette with refrigerator, hotplate, toaster, microwave and kitchenware. The bathroom has a bath, heated towel rail, hairdryer and, of course, high quality Portuguese towels. Finally, for the comfort of your stay TV and Internet are available.

Av Liberdade
Luxury, charm, sophistication. Avenida da Liberdade is Portugal's most famous avenue and Lisbon's great pride. Some say that it reminds them of the Paris Champs-Élysées.
Initially, Avenida da Liberdade was a public promenade, for Lisbon's high society only. It was one of the ventures of Lisbon's reconstruction following the 1775 earthquake, led by Marquês de Pombal. It is not by chance that we have a statue of the marquis in a roundabout at the top of the avenue. At his back is Edward VII park, with 60 acres, the largest park in the center of Lisbon. From the roundabout downwards, there are shops, restaurants, hairdressers, cinemas, theatres and hotels. Trees, small gardens, fountains, statues contribute to the elegance of this cultural and commercial area. If you are looking for the most reknowned and expensive international brands, you will find them here. Armani, Dolce & Gabanna, Longchamp, Louis Vuitton, Montblanc, Timberland, Todd's and Trussardi are some of the examples.
The glamour of the Avenue also extends to the cafés and restaurants. Take note: Tivoli Caffé (182-188), LA Caffé - Tea Room (177A), Ad-Lib (127) and Hard Rock Café (2). At the Hard Rock Café, the agenda is full of concerts by the newest national bands. Close by, at Rua das Portas de Santo Antão you can have a very pleasnt meal. The atmosphere is more touristic, but the prices are affordable. There is traditional Portuguese cuisine.
Avenida da Liberdade is known for its cultural offer. Among the mansions and palatial buildings, there is São Jorge Cinema (175) and Maria Vitória Theatre, a Portuguese Vaudeville theatre. Not quite on Avenue, but very close you find: "Cinemateca Portuguesa" (Rua Barata Salgueiro, 39), "Hot Clube de Portugal" (Praça da Alegria, 39), where you hear jazz, "Maxime" (Praça da Alegria, 58), an old cabaret with an alternative cultural offer, Politeama Theatre and Coliseu dos Recreios, the city's most famous show houses (both in Rua das Portas de Santo Antão, 109 and 96, respectively).
Avenida da Liberdade serves you with some of the most incredible spots of relaxation, beauty care: "Le Salon" (262 . r/c esq.), "Brito e Brito" (4E). "LA SPA" (177A) and one of Lisbon´s most well-attended gyms, "Holmes Place" at number 38.
To live in this Avenue, between the Marquês de Pombal roundabout and Praça dos Restauradores, is a luxury few can afford. It is the central axis of access to downtown, which means that it is crossed by all those who travel to the center, but does not leave aside its elegance and elitism. Seize the opportunity.
