Quality over quantity is what best describes Bomporto’s philosophy and policies. They believe that providing high-end, personable service, and world-class experiences without being pretentious is the way forward. Focusing on Portuguese tradition while being innovative and thinking ahead is their motto. Counting with two unique boutique hotels in the heart of Lisbon, The Lumiares Hotel & Spa, and The Vintage Hotel & Spa, this group will be opening a third hotel – The Rebello Hotel & Spa – in Porto in 2022.
The Vintage Hotel & Spa – Lisbon
History & Story
The Vintage is a 5-star boutique hotel perfectly situated at the crossroads of Lisbon’s trendiest and most fashionable neighborhoods: Avenida da Liberdade and Príncipe Real. Drawing upon the authenticity of the city and the personality and charm of a historic building, the Vintage is a celebration of Lisbon, its architecture, and its beauty. Offering mid-century design redefined for today’s living, all 56 rooms were decorated in a rich color palette – natural green, deep blue, and warm terracotta, each shade was carefully curated to bring the spaces different atmosphere to fulfill its philosophy: Inspire, Relax, Play.
Just like its sister hotel, The Lumiares, The Vintage provides guests with a very personal definition of luxury deeply rooted in culture and showcasing the best of Portugal’s artwork, artisans, and local products.
Date Renewal
The Vintage hotel was acquired by Bomporto Hotels in August 2017, reopening with its completely new design in May 2019. Designed by Quiet Studios creative team and with artwork selections made by Omey Projects, featuring several artists such as Brian de Graf and João Rei.
