The Chiado is in the very heart of Lisbon. It is a particular zone of Lisbon, where many worlds meet: tradition, old facades, fado and the theatre. You will find how to discover the city. For all that, you only have to stay at the Hotel do Chiado (previously known as the Lisboa Regency Chiado). The author of its reconstruction is Alvaro Siza Vieira, an architec with international recognition, who has given his modern and exquisite characteristics to the Hotel. Pedro Espirito Santo, responsible for the hotel's interior design, has adapted with harmony, both oriental and portuguese elements, with influences of the colonial discoveries. The bedrooms and suites are fully equipped for business travellers. Beside the indispensable air-conditioning and soundproofing, all rooms have large desks, comfortable armchairs, mini-bars and direct dial-in telephone lines. They are also equipped with the latest technological support, such as private fax/photocopier, data port for computer and internet connection and on demand video system for viewing the latest films. Whether on vacation or business, we have thought of everything for your comfort. The cosy sofas of the hotel lounge invite you to quietly enjoy an aperitif from the "Entretanto" Bar while you read or chat with friends. Or take a seat outside on the terrace and take in the magnificient view. A familiar place, but where you never loose your privacy. A place where you can work in peace, or rest from your work. It is a place where the employees anticipate your every need. As is our philosophy: always at your service. The windows of the rooms and suites of the Hotel do Chiado open to an overwhelming view over the hills, the houses, the grand S. Jorge Castle, the romanic Cathedral of Lisboa and the magnificent Tagus River.
