So much more than a room renovation announcement, this is a serendipitous story that begins in 1959, when the Hotel first opened its doors.

When highly acclaimed Portuguese architecture studio OITOEMPONTO was entrusted in 2019 to breathe new life into guest rooms and suites at the Hotel, design duo Artur Miranda and Jacques Bec baulked at the idea of modernising the classic Hotel. Old photos stirred memories of Artur's former stays in the iconic Ritz, an experience he didn't want to deny to modern guests. Together, the two set about re-imagining the "past for the present," embarking on a journey to evolve the Hotel's roots - in style and substance, aesthetics and ambience - for 21st century visitors.

Inspired by the Hotel's pure fifties style room #44, the new vibe is authentic yet still pioneering 1950s: a Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon trademark, and while successfully evoking the past, it proudly steps into the present, with each room featuring the most advanced technology for light, vision and sound. Already blessed by the generous balconies, they are now much cosier and perfect for breath-taking views of this beautiful capital.

From spring 2021, guests will be able to experience:

  • Redesigned guest rooms and suites
  • A new outdoor swimming pool
  • A new outdoor bar
  • New terrace of the Ritz Bar

Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon remains open with operations as usual throughout the transformation period and welcomes guests to enjoy its accommodations, ballroom and meeting spaces, CURA Restaurant, Varanda Restaurant the the Ritz Bar, O Japonês and other Hotel facilities including the Ritz Spa, indoor pool and rooftop fitness centre.
