Mercador Luxury Apartments - Lisbon, Portugal
About this Chic Retreat
Mercador opened in April 2011 and is made up of 3 simply stunning apartments situated in the Palácio do Mercador at the heart of Lisbon. These are the perfect alternative to a boutique hotel giving guests the freedom to come and go as they please. This building dates back to 1565 and is of historical interest and importance in one of the oldest streets in the city. The Palace withstood the earthquake that struck Lisbon in 1755 and the owner at the time commissioned the Milanese plasterer Giovanni Grossi to decorate the rooms in the rococo style, coating ceilings with beautiful stucco, the walls with tile (“azulejos”) panels and decorative paintings that are still very much evident throughout.
Accommodation
Suite D. João, inspired by the Portuguese “joanino” baroque style, is spacious and is adorned with wood carvings, beautiful tiles and stuccos. The suite can be made up as a double or a twin and demanding guests will be pleased to know that the bed linen is the best quality satin cotton and there is a choice of three pillows. Each of the apartments has a living and dining area as well as a fully-equipped kitchenette giving you total independence during your stay in Lisbon. Suite D.ª Maria is larger and decorated in a Neoclassical style celebrating Queen D Maria I. Decorative paintings and antiques, original high ceilings and simple lines make this the perfect base for a long weekend or mid-week break in Lisbon. Last, but by no means least is Suite D. Manuel, named after D. Manuel I who was born in 1469 and reigned from 1495 to 1521. The use and combination of floral motifs, animals and elements used in day-to-day activities by the Portuguese navigators, such as ropes and anchors, resulted in a style known as “Manuelino” that is has inspired many famous interior decorators around the world. All of the apartments can sleep up to 3 people with the addition of an extra bed or use of the sofa bed.
