IHG Hotels & Resorts opened Convent Square Lisbon, Vignette Collection. The 121-room hotel in Lisbon marks the second Vignette Collection property to open in Europe.
The original building is known as Convento de. S. Domingos, dating from 1242, is a historic building commissioned by King Sancho II. Today, worship is replaced by wellness with a sauna, fitness suite and indoor plunge pool now overlooking the rooftop’s unrivalled views of the city’s ancient architecture including the Sao Domingos church.
The hotel offers an all-day dining experience, Capitulo serving Chef Victor Sobral’s contemporary interpretations of traditional Portuguese classics. Light bites and beverages are served in the emblematic open-air cloister or a choice of tapas with live music can be enjoyed in the lounge.
Tom Rowntree, Vice President of Luxury & Lifestyle Brands at IHG Hotels & Resorts, said: “We are delighted to see Convent Square Lisbon, Vignette Collection join IHG’s ever-expanding Luxury & Lifestyle portfolio.
