Four Seasons Ritz Lisbon to undergo extensive renovation LISBON, 5 days ago Four Seasons Hotel Ritz Lisbon, an iconic hotel in Portugal’s vibrant capital, prepares to reinvent itself after 60 years of service.
“We have welcomed guests from all over the world here, with most returning again and again, year after year,” said 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.”
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.
