The Apartment
Passion is the compact end of the collection and makes no apology for it. Sixty-five square metres, one bedroom, one bathroom, and a full kitchen with a washing machine — which is what separates an apartment from a hotel room on any stay longer than a couple of nights.
The heated floors are worth knowing about. Lisbon apartments are cold in January and February, and a wall unit is the usual answer. The balcony is small and faces the street.
What you get
- Heated floors
- Balcony
- Rain shower
- Full kitchen
- Oven, hob and dishwasher
- Washing machine in the apartment
- Air conditioning, WiFi and television
- Fresh linen and towels, cleaned between stays
These are apartments rather than hotel rooms: there is no reception desk, and every one has a proper kitchen and its own laundry, which is what makes a stay of a week or a season workable.
Chiado, and what is around it
Rua da Misericórdia runs along the spine of Chiado, with Praça Luís de Camões at the bottom of the street and the Miradouro de São Pedro de Alcântara at the top. The Igreja de São Roque is a minute away on foot, Bairro Alto begins immediately behind the building, and Rua Garrett, the Baixa and the river are all downhill.
- Praça Luís de Camões, at the foot of the street
- Bairro Alto, immediately behind the building

- Rua Garrett and the Chiado shops, downhill
- Time Out Market and Cais do Sodré, further downhill
- Tram 28 and the Elevador da Glória, both close by
