Solar Do Castelo is truly a romantic boutique hotel in the historic centre of Lisbon.
This charming hotel is located within the walls of the São Jorge Castle. You will find welcoming rooms offering complete modern day comfort, such as free wireless access in all rooms and public areas.
During the second half of the XVIII century a mansion was built within St. George's Castle walls on the site of the former Alcáçova Palace kitchens. This is why it is still known as the "Palacete das Cozinhas" (Kitchen Mansion).
Along with two floors and a mansard, an inner courtyard and gardens, the Palacete das Cozinhas possesses some Medieval remains - such as the cistern - which are thought to have formed part of some of the original Palace's outbuildings.
The mansion combines elements of the rationalist Pombal style of building - the sober frames around the windows and the main gateway - with others that expressed a greater freedom, such as the elaborate design that surmounts the wall attached to the gateway in the main façade, on which we can read "1765" - the probable date of its construction.
The mansion, which is classified as a Historic Building, has now been transformed into a hotel under the name Solar Do Castelo and has been brought back to life through a high-quality contemporary design.
Accommodation: this contemporary classic hotel was last renovated in 2001 and offers 14 rooms. All rooms are equipped with safe, air-conditioning, satellite tv, telephone, free wi-fi, bath/shower, hairdryer and bathrobe. There are also non-smoking rooms and 24-hour room service available.
