A modern oasis in the heart of Lisbon, the Memmo Alfama is a boutique hotel located up on the hill near the São Jorge Castle overlooking the River Tagus. When hotelier Rodrigo Machaz decided to resurrect this 19th century building – surfboard tucked under his arm – he wanted to maintain the original facades of the architecture, spectacular sea views and abundance of light while infusing clean, modern design. The result? Machaz has curated an exceptional blend of local cuisine, design, history, and culture for his guests, from tips on where to hear Fado to the selection of fine Portuguese wines on the hotel’s rooftop bar.
