Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon Reveals Extensive Renovation in 2021

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

We have welcomed guests from all over the world here, with most returning again and again, year after year, says Guilherme Costa, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon. And given the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, we thought this was an ideal time to carry on the much anticipated vision of the future for this Hotel.

And given the current situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, we thought this was an ideal time to carry on the much anticipated vision of the future for this Hotel.  When highly renowned 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 blend memories of Arturs former stays in the iconic Ritz, an experience he didnt 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 Hotels roots  in style and substance, aesthetics and ambience  for 21st century visitors.  It was fascinating to delve into the history of the Hotel  and realise that its essence hasnt changed much in 60 years, shares Artur. Not only is it an emblematic architectural piece of 1950s Portugal, it also remains at the creative forefront of classic meets cutting-edge. The Hotel has always been very sure of itself, so its no surprise that it dictated the parameters for this visionary-vintage reincarnation.  Motivated by the Hotels pure fifties style room #44, the new vibe is grand yet still pioneering 1950s: a Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon trademark, and while successfully giving rise to the past, it proudly steps into the present, with each room showcasing the most advanced technology for light, vision and sound. Already blessed by the generous balconies, they are now intimate and perfect for breath-taking views of this beautiful capital.  According to Guilherme Costa: This is a time of great excitement for the community of Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon. After
