Explore The Hotel

This policy helps us maintain a certain standard of peace and quiet, making it ideal for families with older children and other guests seeking a calm retreat.
Simplicity and Creativity
As you round the corner onto Travessa das Merceeiras, you will be surprised with a piece of street art of the already renowned young Portuguese artist Alexandre Farto Vhils, as he is known in the art world, accepted our invitation to do a special work in one of the exterior walls which resulted in a surprisingly original face of a former resident: a perfect combination of simplicity and creativity.
Just Like Home
Housing in an ancient courtyard – the original building is dated of the late nineteenth century – the main architectural goal was to maintain the original facades in order to achieve the total integration in the neighborhood’s tradition and history.
Upon entering, a cozy living room greets the guests instead of a traditional front desk and they can check in from anywhere in the hotel. memmo alfama’s laidback ambiance invites its guests to feel at home - borrow a book from the living room – and at the same time to integrate themselves into the culture and traditions of the Alfama district and the city of Lisbon.
The Spirit of a Portuguese House
An intimate area is dedicated to our signature Lisbon Story, which provides guests with all the relevant information they need to learn to explore the city. Our guide Living Alfama pairs staff suggestions for neighborhood delights with inside tips from locals themselves.
memmo alfama offers mostly high-quality Portuguese products and brands – from the room’s amenities to the menus and wines – enforcing the spirit of a Portuguese house. Even the music embraces the Portuguese from Portugal to Brazil and Africa.

Above all, memmo Alfama is a place to live and enjoy the warmth and genuineness
