João Frederico Ludovice, King João V's German-born court architect and the designer of Mafra Palace, finished this Bairro Alto townhouse for his own family in 1747, using leftover Mafra stone and an early anti-seismic timber cage that helped it survive the 1755 earthquake. After decades as Lisbon's Solar do Vinho do Porto, it opened in 2021 as a 61-room wine hotel by Miguel Câncio Martins, with MICHELIN One Key and Caudalie spa treatments.

About Palácio Ludovice Wine Experience Hotel
- João Frederico Ludovice (born Johann Friedrich Ludwig) completed the palace as his family residence in 1747, partly from leftover Mafra palace-convent materials.
- An early anti-seismic timber gaiola in the upper floors helped the house survive the 1755 Lisbon earthquake, a technique later used in the Pombaline Baixa rebuild.
- The main facade has been an Imóvel de Interesse Público (Property of Public Interest) since 22 March 1938.
- From 1945 the ground floor housed the Solar do Vinho do Porto after architect Jorge Segurado's 1944-45 conversion.
- Paris-based Portuguese architect Miguel Câncio Martins (Buddha Bar Paris, Quinta da Comporta) converted the palace into 61 rooms, opening in 2021.
