BAIRRO ALTO

Location

This historical city hotel is located in the square that bears a statue and name of Luís Vaz de Camões, the soldier poet who told the story of Portugal's discoveries in his epic poem, "Os Lusíadas". To this day, Bairro Alto remains synonymous with creativity and revolution, the latter if only in spirit since the people's uprising in 1974. The Bairro Alto district (literally the Upper City) is an historic enclave dating from 1513, which is reached in a unique way via the Santa Justa Elevator (a structure reminiscent of the Eiffel tower in Paris) from the lower city. At night the area comes alive with some of the finest Fado cafes in the city, along streets lit by Victorian lanterns. In recent times, Bairro Alto has also made a name for itself as an alternative shopping destination, popular with those looking for fashion and designs outside the mainstream.
