Concept

Welcome to Montecarmo 12, a boutique hotel that sits on a quiet corner right off the main street of Principe Real, one of Lisbon’s most beautiful historic neighborhoods.

We are firm believers that the best memories arise from the simplicity of each moment – in every moment that we allow ourselves to be, discover, and experience without haste. Inspired by a rich past, while looking into a more conscious future, we open our doors to a place of comfort and tranquility in the heart of the city.

Architecture & Design

In the heart of the neighborhood’s sinuous landscape, the historic building has been restored and reimagined by the renowned architecture atelier Aires Mateus, the house now breathes new life, building upon a rich history of stories and memories built over time.

Local materials – such as lioz limestone and tiles – coexist with details that evoke past times, such as the curved staircase, central to the project, or the façade, whose careful restoration preserves the charm of the original building.

With simplicity in mind, each space was intentionally designed to be welcoming, intimate, and serene; a place where every detail has been considered.

Scents & Flavours

The experience of this space appeals to different senses, every detail thought out for a lasting and impactful memory.

Nature is brought indoors with geranium, lavender, lemongrass, and rosemary notes – these are the natural aromas found at Montecarmo 12. Carefully selected and developed in Lisbon using only non-synthetic ingredients, you can find them both in our amenities and throughout the hotel.

In the kitchen/dining room, each meal is shared at our table, which in turn is where all the food is prepared – an experience that redefines what a hotel breakfast can look like. Our menu has been carefully designed by Chef Dede to offer healthy, delicious options.
