Set within a striking yellow building adorned with classic Portuguese tiles, The Haus – Alegria is a quietly iconic presence in the heart of Príncipe Real. Behind its historic facade lie ten beautifully restored apartments, where clean, contemporary design meets the charm of old-world Lisbon. Just moments from Avenida da Liberdade and the city’s Botanical Gardens, it’s an elegant base for exploring the capital.

Inside, expect light-flooded interiors, kitchens made for slow mornings, and the comfort of little luxuries – from fluffy towels to fresh pastries. The building retains its original character, including its traditional staircase – there is no lift – but the climb is a small price for the peace and charm that await above. Some lower level apartments offer leafy gardens or terraces, but all share the same sense of calm, considered style that keeps guests coming back.
