Palácio da Anunciada
Situated next to the Fernandina wall, at a certain point in history the area around Rua das Portas de Santo Antão was dotted with noble palaces. To the north is the 18th-century Palácio da Anunciada and to the south the 19th-century Prédio Nobre.
The aim was to create a five-star hotel with a capacity of 83 rooms, while preserving all emblematic and architecturally valuable elements of the pre-existing structures—such as the vestibule, the grand staircase, and the four noble rooms, as well as the main façades of both buildings. At the Palácio da Anunciada, the two mansard floors—previously in an advanced state of decay—were fully reconstructed. The annexes to the north of the palace, which held no historical or architectural value, were replaced by a new wing that follows the original building’s volume, alignment, and window rhythm.

National Refurbishment Awards distinguishes the Palácio da Anunciada Hotel. In addition to this recognition, the project has formerly won the National Real Estate Awards in Tourism and Building of the Year categories respectively.
The Prédio Nobre, originally a single-family Pombaline residence, was in relatively good condition but was adapted to meet the requirements of a hotel facility. The complex includes two gardens: an upper one, more private and intended for hotel guests, and a central one, open to the public, complemented by a restaurant and outdoor terrace. Beneath the upper garden, accessible via the former Casa de Fresco through a vaulted gallery, is the spa. On the ground floor, with direct access from Rua das Portas de Santo Antão and beneath the central garden that connects both buildings, is the lounge bar. It is in this central garden that the Dragoeiro—a century-old dragon tree—stands, enhancing the relationship between the garden, the hotel experience, and the city.
