History
Pousada Alfama opened in April 2023 at Rua de São Tomé 76, opposite the Portas do Sol viewpoint in Lisbon's Alfama district. Pestana restored an abandoned 19th-century house built for the Count of Murça on remains that excavations showed go back to at least medieval Lisbon, adding two floors in a roughly €10 million project. The four-story inn holds rooms on the upper floors and the Manifesto Bar Lounge at ground level, with a Bordalo II recycled-plastic panda from his Animais em Extinção series on the courtyard wall. Interior designer Jaime Morais fitted the public rooms, including pieces from Museu de Lisboa.
