Andaz has announced the opening of its first property in Portugal, with an interior design scheme by Studio Urquiola.
The hotel, which opened its doors on 11 March 2026, reflects Lisbon’s rich cultural heritage and artistic spirit with a vibrant and immersive experience that welcomes locals and travellers alike.
Thanks to its landmark location on Rua do Comércio in the heart of the city’s historic Baixa district, Andaz Lisbon delivers a fusion of Moorish heritage and Pombaline elegance, reimagined for the modern traveller.
The hotel blends seamlessly into the city’s architectural and cultural fabric, offering a contemporary reinterpretation of old-world details. The entire interior design concept was envisioned and executed by Studio Urquiola, with décor drawing inspiration from the local creative community to create a vibrant and immersive atmosphere.
This creative collaboration is showcased through bespoke art installations throughout the hotel, including fibre art by Luisa Ramires, paintings by Rosarinho Andrade and Studio Krus, and a modern reinterpretation of traditional Portuguese elements such as azulejos tiles and calçada Portuguesa, the distinctive black-and-white mosaic pavements. Each piece has been carefully curated to evoke Lisbon’s dynamic spirit while aligning with the Andaz brand’s commitment to storytelling through design.
The hotel’s 170 stylish guestrooms and suites range from 22m2 to 99m2, with views of Lisbon landmarks including São Jorge Castle, Praça do Comércio and Tagus River. Meanwhile, Andaz Lounge – a ground-floor social hub inspired by Lisbon’s beloved kiosks – offers Portuguese street food, artisan coffee and hand-crafted local beers and spirits, while a sophisticated rooftop restaurant and terrace serves modern Lusitanian cuisine inspired by Portugal’s maritime legacy, with live music, DJ sets and crafted cocktails.
Music, an integral part of Lisbon’s cultural identity, will also play a central role at Andaz Lisbon. The hotel will feature a curated mix of local and international artists, from the soulful sounds of Fado to contemporary jazz, indie, and electro performances.
As the first of its kind, Andaz Lisbon will serve as a living expression of the brand’s evolution, offering a visually striking and deeply meaningful hospitality experience. Every element, from design to guest experience, will reflect the new Andaz visual identity, which emphasises authenticity, artistic expression and a strong sense of place.
