Located in the very best area of Lisbon, at the crossroads of Chiado, Bairro Alto, and Príncipe Real, Palácio Ludovice overlooks the sweeping views of the São Pedro de Alcântara Viewpoint and the iconic Glória Tram. Steeped in over 300 years of history, the property was once the private residence of João Federico Ludovice, architect to King João V. Remarkably, it is one of the few buildings to have survived the devastating 1755 earthquake, thanks to an innovative anti-seismic construction technique developed by Ludovice himself—later adopted across the city during Lisbon’s reconstruction. Today, this historic landmark has been meticulously reimagined by architect Miguel Câncio Martins into a refined 61-room luxury boutique hotel, where heritage and contemporary elegance meet. Palácio Ludovice is also Lisbon’s only dedicated wine experience hotel, offering a deeply immersive connection to Portugal’s world-renowned wine culture. This is reflected throughout the property—from its signature scent and design to exclusive wine-based in-room amenities created in partnership with the hotel. Guests can unwind at the Caudalie Boutique Spa with vinotherapy treatments, explore the Port Wine Institute shop (the official representative of the Douro and Port wine region), and enjoy daily sommelier-led wine tastings, including a complimentary experience for hotel guests. With over 100 Portuguese wine labels spanning all 14 wine regions, the hotel celebrates wine at every touchpoint—from its own Palácio Ludovice wines (white, red, and rosé) served in the restaurant, to signature cocktails crafted with wine, curated wine-pairing dinners, and a welcome glass of Port upon arrival.
