In the heart of Chiado, Lisbon, The Ivens Hotel sits in the former headquarters of Rádio Renascença, a 19th-century building now transformed into a symbol of modern luxury.
For travellers seeking an urban stay with style, comfort, and authenticity, The Ivens delivers on every level. Recently, it was crowned first place in the Condé Nast Traveler Reader’s Choice Awards in the US and second in the UK edition, in the category of hotels in Portugal—placing it among the world’s most celebrated hotels.
Historic charm meets contemporary design
The hotel’s 87 rooms, including 10 suites, were designed by Spanish designer Lázaro Rosa‑Violán and Portuguese architect Cristina Matos. Their vision fuses tropical-inspired décor, artistic ceilings, and sweeping views over the Tagus River or Lisbon’s rooftops. Every detail is crafted to create a unique, memorable stay.
Luxury in every detail
Inside, elegance and attention to detail abound. Suites feature marble finishes, travel-inspired wallpapers with exotic fauna, and Jo Malone amenities. Guests can enjoy 24-hour access to a fully equipped gym, personalised concierge service, and the vibrant Chiado neighbourhood with its galleries, bookstores, luxury shops, cafés, and standout bars.
Dining that excites all senses
Rocco, the hotel’s signature restaurant, offers three distinct experiences: an Italian ristorante, a seafood bar called Crudo, and a lively gastro-bar. The menu blends Mediterranean, Portuguese, and Italian cuisine, while the cosmopolitan atmosphere comes alive with signature cocktails and DJ nights, making dining as memorable as the design itself.
