Today, allow me to introduce you to Memmo Príncipe Real, a haven of dreams and experiences, where history mixes with modernity and luxury dances to a cozy rhythm.
In the heights of Lisbon, Memmo Príncipe Real rests hidden, modern, and majestic, gazing at the city with adoring love. His terrace, a belvedere of wonders, envelops us in a sensation of suspension, where, at the top of the hill, we witness a dazzling spectacle over downtown Pombaline.
Since opening at the end of 2016, this hotel has enchanted visitors with its cosmopolitan atmosphere, rooted in historical heritage, and a perfect fusion of authenticity and timelessness. Memmo is a living testimony of a past royalty, which is intertwined with the vibrant energy of a new and bustling Lisbon.
First impression
After an unexpected and almost secret passage, we are received in a simple and elegant lobby, far from the hustle and bustle of the big hotels. The warm smile of the welcoming team while a tempting mint tea does the honors of the moment and helps us to rock a little beast in a moment of agitation!
On one side, the Lounge merges with the restaurant, and on the other, the terrace with the swimming pool and a unique horizon that makes one foresee the incredible sunsets whose memories prevailed in time. And the panoramic view over Lisbon… probably one of the best and most idyllic views in the entire city.
The Memmo is a relatively small hotel with an intimate, cozy, and sophisticated atmosphere.
Bedrooms
Memmo is a shelter of intimacy, a cozy and sophisticated refuge that emphasizes the title of Boutique Hotel. Its rooms, 41 in total, are an invitation to tranquility. In our Superior City View Room, on the fourth floor, the highest in the hotel, we were treated to a panoramic view of the entire city. The generous 26m² ornamented with contemporary decor, punctuated by luxurious details that made all the difference.
A Bang & Olufsen television, a Marshall Mini-Station, an extraordinarily comfortable bed with Egyptian cotton sheets, Hermès toiletries, a welcome cocktail service, where we had the pleasure of making our own Port Tonic, as well as different teas and coffee at our disposal.
But a fascinating detail completed the room, a unique accessory – a hat in the style of The Son of Man – that changed places whenever the staff wanted to cheer us up with a message, making our stay and our day even more special.
Restaurants
The hotel has Café Príncipe Real, located behind reception, facing the terrace and pool. An elegant space with the necessary comfort to accompany all the meals of the day and, in the end, become a fantastic rooftop overlooking Lisbon. For guests and visitors, this meeting place features traditional Portuguese cuisine with Mediterranean and international touches, which pretend to take us on an unforgettable sensory journey.
Services
In addition to the usual services of any luxury hotel, Memmo Príncipe Real offers a unique space for events. Armazém M – Memmo Meeting Space, an old warehouse recovered, can accommodate up to 50 guests, providing a privileged view of Lisbon.
However, the hotel’s ex-libris perhaps resides in its terrace (already mentioned here), an authentic viewpoint where the contrasts so characteristic of Lisbon merge at our feet. Drinking a cocktail, enjoying the sunset, and immersing yourself in a cosmopolitan atmosphere, rocked by good music is one of the best feelings we can experience.
In this space, we also find the swimming pool, an invitation to moments of rest and enjoyment, even with less privacy than desired.
The hotel’s team is friendly and attentive, working masterfully to make every moment a memorable experience without letting their presence be imposed, precisely as expected from a luxury hotel.
Memmo Príncipe Real is one of those places that we yearn to return to, either because luxury and comfort merge with excellence or because we experience contemporaneity in one of the most historic areas of Lisbon.
