Chiado is a hotspot for Portuguese architectural grandeur, artistic flair and Old-World glamour, which means our expectations were high when we heard an architect had recently refurbished the building that homes Sterling Bronze. We weren't disappointed either – restoring the traditional azulejos and gaiolas pombalinas (exposed beams), and adding original art is just the tip of the iceberg – the bare bones of this home have been optimised and modernised to create a unique apartment that effortlessly marries the old and the new. While the statement pieces add interest and heaps of rustic charm, it's a homely spot too, with cosy bedrooms made up of neutral tones and comfy throws. Both come accompanied with en-suite marble bathrooms for an added level of luxury, while those keeping one eye on work during their stay will find the stylish study areas a delight. But, perhaps the star of the show is however the moment you step out onto your beautifully appointed balcony with your morning coffee and pastel de nata, watching the activity of the stoned enclave and its lively locale below.

Local guide
About Chiado
Chiado is full of old-world charm, and is one of the best-loved parts of Lisbon. Think pastel-hued homes, cobbled streets and plenty of squares to soak up the atmosphere. There’s a slower pace of life in Chiado, which is why it’s so popular with locals. Hop on a tram to take in the open-air ruin of the Camo church, a Gothic masterpiece that was mostly destroyed in an earthquake, or hit the shops – this is one of Lisbon’s best shopping districts, after all.
