Paying homage to the building’s history and the writer’s literary universe, we drew inspiration from a retro aesthetic that spans from Neoclassical to Art Deco, taking guests on a journey between Paris and Aveiro, between restoration and contemporary creation. The result is a composition of refinement and elegance, harmoniously aligned with the demands and functionalities of a five-star hotel.
At the reception, accessible from the main façade through a brass-framed glass antechamber, the sober-lined desk stands out, along with the meticulous attention given to the function of each element, without competing with the grandeur of the original staircase that dominates the space.

The 39 rooms, divided into three categories — 10 ‘Thematic’, 20 ‘Classic’, and 9 ‘Signature’ — embody the hotel’s narrative through carefully designed pieces of furniture, which, together with textiles, wall coverings, stucco ceilings, and period elements, offer guests a distinctive experience.
In the thematic rooms, each space draws inspiration from characters in the most iconic works of Eça de Queirós, reflecting the defining traits that the writer immortalized. The result is unique and distinctive atmospheres, meticulously crafted so that each room choice provides a singular and memorable experience.
The essence of the hotel is reflected in its high level of personalization, with each space designed as unique, combining noble materials, harmonizing antiques with contemporary design, and offering guests and visitors a truly sensorial and immersive experience.
