History
The Pousada Lisboa occupies a Pombaline building at Praça do Comércio 31-34, on the reconstructed Terreiro do Paço after the 1755 earthquake. The building later housed Portugal's Ministry of Internal Affairs and a police station; the Great Hall was the Council of Ministers' meeting room, and suite 201 occupies the former office of Prime Minister António de Oliveira Salazar. Architect Jaime Morais led the adaptive reuse. The pousada opened in June 2015 with 90 rooms over four floors, won a 2016 national urban-rehabilitation award, and is a Small Luxury Hotels of the World member.
The setting
Pousada Lisboa Praça do Comércio sits toward the south of Baixa in Lisbon. Lisbon Cathedral is roughly 5 minutes' walk, Santa Justa Lift is roughly 5 minutes' walk, and Carmo Archaeological Museum is roughly 6 minutes' walk. Baixa is Lisbon's reconstructed grid after 1755: black-and-white mosaic sidewalks, the Tagus at Praca do Comercio, and an evening that still feels like the 28 tram even if you walk. 2 km from 11th-century hilltop São Jorge Castle.
