Oitoemponto gave special attention to every detail at the Ritz Four Seasons Lisbon so guests could enjoy a luxury and comfort among the history of the space.

With over 60 years of history, the Ritz Four Seasons Lisbon is the most iconic hotel in Portugal. The renovation was carefully thought out to maintain the character of this unit opened in 1959. When highly acclaimed Portuguese architecture studio Oitoemponto was entrusted in 2019 to breathe new life into guest rooms and suites at the Hotel, design duo Artur Miranda and Jacques Bec baulked at the idea of modernising the classic Hotel.

Through close collaboration between the Ritz, Oitoemponto and Vector Mais, which carefully carried out all the renovation works, it was possible to re-imagining the past for the present, embarking on a journey to evolve the Hotel’s roots for 21st-century visitors. This attention to detail is particularly noticeable in the carpentry, the construction of the interior architectural details and the restoration of most of the original stones in the bathrooms.
